(Des Moines, IA) Iowa is set to receive 432 million dollars from the federal infrastructure plan over the next five years. The money will be used to update some of the 45 hundred Iowa bridges considered to be structurally deficient. Some of that work could start as soon as this summer. The head of the American Society of Civil Engineers says drivers will see a lot of orange cones on the roadways over the next five years. Maria Lehman sees that as a “terrific” impact on roadway safety and the state’s economic situation.
