A deep dive into America's Infrastructure Crisis, how much it costs us in terms of dollars and time spent in traffic, and what it will take to dig us out.
Here's the entire 5-part series of "The Break Down: Road Work Ahead," in which reporters Al Jones and Steve Burns take a deep dive into America's infrastructure crisis.
In the first part of this series, our reporters lay out how America is in an infrastructure crisis and present the problems it has created in our communities.
In part 2, we dig into the impact of the current crisis in terms of wasted time, economic loss, and lost lives.
Part 3 of "The Break Down - Road Work Ahead" series takes on how much will it cost to fix the roads we use every day and how are we going to pay for it.
In part 4 of the series, we take a look at communities that are finding success in fixing roads and planning for the future.
In this section we take a look at how we avoid the mess we are currently in and how will the future of our transportation needs be served.
Reporter Al Jones visits a local business that lives on flat tires, Rapid Tire Service in Brooklyn. The shop doesn't see many customers during rush hour because traffic doesn't move.
