2025 Infrastructure Report Card

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has released its 2025 Infrastructure Report Card, indicating slight improvement overall. America’s infrastructure grade increased from a C- in 2021 to a C in 2025. This report also marks the first time since 1998 that no infrastructure category received a D- grade. Although the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) contributed over $591 billion to various infrastructure sectors funding more than 60,000 projects, the new report highlights a significant remaining challenge: a $3.7 trillion funding gap over the next 10 years needed to achieve a state of good repair. ASCE President Marsha Geldert-Murphey noted, ‘For the second consecutive report, Report Card grades show that U.S. infrastructure is trending in the right direction thanks to comprehensive support, innovative solutions, and bold leadership.’ Continued investment in our nation’s infrastructure is critical.

Episode 2: The Art of Rebuilding

Operating Engineers Local 12 member Michael Reilly and his wife, Coleen Sterritt, lost their home during the Altadena fire. Sterritt, a well-known sculptor, lost years of artwork as well. We visit Michael and Coleen at their property that burned down and talk to them about what they lost and how they plan to rebuild. Like many of their neighbors, they were not told to evacuate the night of the fire. They made it out of their home not long before the fire swept through their neighborhood. As we follow the scraping process, Michael talks about how he wants to preserve the hardscape around the home.

He also talks about how the Operating Engineers Apprenticeship program started him on a career that taught him about the beauty of what operators build. Michael and Coleen also established a relationship with John Renner, the Operator who was working at their site, and made a special request for his services. Local 12 Business Manager David Sikorski visits the site and talks about how the Operating Engineers are “in this for the long haul,” by helping their members who lost homes and the broader community. This is a video about art and the art of rebuilding.
