Maurer-Stutz is pleased to be selected this week by the Woodford County Highway Department to provide all of the federally funded Phase I Planning Study work for the reconstruction of a 4.5 mile long segment of County Highway 13 from US Route 24 to IL Route 116 in Roanoke.andnbsp; The study also includes rehabilitation or replacement of three bridges. andnbsp;
Infrastructure makes modern civilization possible. Roads, power grids, sewage systems and water networks all underpin society as we know it, forming the basis of our built environment … at least when they work.
In theory, infrastructure is a bipartisan issue – everyone wants roads and bridges to be nice, safe and smooth. In practice, big infrastructure projects tend to go over budget and lack accountability. Arguably this is both a political and cultural issue: we as a nation need to become more invested in our infrastructure, financially and emotionally. Perhaps it is time to reclaim the term “public works” as a reminder to politicians and citizens alike that these projects are undertaken by and for the people. (via 99% Invisible)
