Study Ranks Illinois Low for Infrastructure

Illinois is ranked tenth among states with the worst infrastructure, according to a new Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia study comparing all 50 states. The report measured infrastructure conditions, reliability, and investment across seven categories. It found 13 percent of Illinois roads are in poor condition, while just over 11 percent of bridges are also rated poor. Illinois also placed last for flight punctuality, with 28.5 percent of flights not arriving on time. West Virginia ranked as the state with the worst overall infrastructure, while Delaware was rated the best. The findings highlight ongoing concerns over transportation reliability statewide.
