Ohio’s Infrastructure Improves to a ‘C’ Grade, On Par with National Average
Ohio’s infrastructure earned a ‘C’ grade in the 2025 ASCE report card, a slight improvement from the state’s previous mark and now matching the national average. While roads, ports and hazardous waste systems saw gains, issues like aging water systems and safety concerns following the East Palestine train derailment highlight ongoing challenges. Engineers say stronger investment, better technology and a focus on resilience are essential to modernizing Ohio’s infrastructure and protecting public health.
