Infrastructure Metrics?

[Webhobo]

Would be interesting to see metrics about infrastructure. I'm leaving this intentionally broad so we can elaborate on it :)

Great idea. I wonder if there's open data on new gov't construction projects, roads, and/or bridges.

How might we measure that our infrastructure is healthy/safe? Accidents or other sorts of safety data?

The American association of civil engineers does an infrastructure report card. This has state level breakouts of statistics on roads ways, dams, bridges, ports, air fields, etc. They've got links to their sources and everything. I think that's probably a good place to start looking for what's available.
