Bridges for one. Like 54,000 of them at the start of 2018. But the republicans refuse to fund the repairs/replacement.
It would be nice if they replaced one of the bridges I regularly use here. Max weight 9 tons.
Lisco State Aid Bridge (goes to Wikipedia, more at the link, with photo):
The Lisco State Aid Bridge is located on a county road over the North Platte River south of Lisco, Nebraska. Completed in 1928, the bridge today โis distinguished as an important crossing of the Platte River and one of the last two intact multiple-span state aid truss bridgesโ in Nebraska.
