Materials Prices

Beginning late 2020, the transportation construction industry confronted unprecedented pandemic-related cost increases and often-limited availability for key commodities and materials. To help ensure all project partners – whether public or private – better understand the extent of these dynamics, ARTBA’s economics team has centralized national cost data for key inputs and commodities used by the transportation construction industry.

Annual Bridge Report

Each year, ARTBA releases a state by state assessment of the nation’s bridges. Our analysis of the 2023 U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) National Bridge Inventory (NBI) database finds that 36 percent of all U.S. bridges—over 222,000 spans—require major repair work or replacement. Placed end‐to‐end, these structures span over 6,100 miles – and would take over 110 hours to cross at an average speed of 55‐miles‐per‐hour.
