Abstract
The US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which is winding its way through Congress, makes progress toward President Biden’s campaign promise to “build back better” by investing $0.55 trillion to repair the nation’s transportation, water, and energy systems. But this allocation is only a fraction of the American Society of Civil Engineers estimated $2.5 trillion infrastructure investment deficit. To bridge this value gap, the nation must build back “wiser” by investing IIJA dollars in digitized, versatile, distributed, and inclusive infrastructure systems.
