        8 of the 18 critical infrastructure categories addressed by the 2025 #InfrastructureReportCard improved since the 2021 report. Energy, however, was 1 of 2 categories that decreased, falling from a C- to a D+.

        Michael Miller, vice president of engineering services at @ExoGroupLLC, discusses how civil engineers can raise the grade for America’s energy infrastructure based on the findings in ASCE’s 2025 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure: https://t.co/UwHfrTnFan.

        What do you do when a massive landslide closes off the road to the tallest mountain in North America? Build a bridge and get over it, of course.⁠
        ⁠
        Alaska’s Pretty Rocks Bridge is a pretty daring work in progress, constructed using an innovative truss-launching method. ⁠
        ⁠
        The need for the 475-foot single-span arose after a slow-moving landslide blocked the 92-mile-long single-lane gravel Denali Park Road, which supports an estimated $1 billion per year economy tied in part to cruise ships and ports. ⁠
        ⁠
        Not only is the site geologically complex, increasingly unstable, difficult to access and has only a 5-month summer construction window; it also has a very limited amount of level ground on which to work.⁠
        ⁠
        Find out how the unique project and its engineers are actively working against all odds to restore access to the interior of @denalinps - link in bio.⁠
