America's infrastructure is in dire need of repairs.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, which is published every four years, US infrastructure gets a D+ grade. It got the same grade in 2013.
The ASCE estimates the US needs to spend some $4.5 trillion by 2025 to improve the state of the country's roads, bridges, dams, airports, schools, and more.
The report breaks down the state of infrastructure in 16 different categories. Here's a look at each category's final grade, according to the organization.
