The States could raise their own taxes to take care of these things. Why do we always think it's the federal governments job.
Alabama has been doing this for more than 10 years now. Partly through a gas tax they are replacing or rebuilding all the old bridges in the entire state. A huge number of the major river bridges and the smaller creek and minor river bridges have already been replaced. Surely the rest of the country can keep up with Alabama!

 Ditto in Wyoming for more the 40 years. Because Wyoming is miles and miles of miles and miles our road system must be maintained. The Wyoming Department of Transportation does a very good job of it. I used to know one of the engineers that inspected the brigdes in the state depending on the amount of use it was from every year to every 2 of 3 years on the less used brigdes. Wyoming does have the advantage of a low population and therefore roads with fairly low useage.
