WSJ.COM:  Comparing Road, Bridge Quality by State (http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2014/07/16/interactive-maps-comparing-road-bridge-quality-by-state/)

QuoteThe nation's infrastructure is a key priority for President Barack Obama this week, as Congress debates whether, and for how long, to fund the Highway Trust Fund – the federal program that disburses gas taxes to states for road and mass transit construction projects.

QuoteFederal transportation officials have warned the fund could become insolvent within weeks, potentially delaying ongoing repair and construction efforts across the country. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, for example, recently sent letters to states warning their funding is in jeopardy.
