Passing right over our crumbling bridges, roads and tunnels

It’s no mystery that America’s infrastructure is in dire shape — in particular, the bridges, roads and tunnels in our cities largest cities. The American Society of Civil Engineers’ annual grade for our infrastructure currently stands at a D+, with an estimated cost of $3.9 trillion to bring it up to a B-level. That’s nearly 4 trillion — trillion with a “T” — just to make our daily commute good, not great.

So it’s no mystery that the opportunity to pass right over the mess is starting to take off (pun intended). As in developing countries around the world that skipped over wired communications infrastructure and went right to wireless, the idea of flying right over all the traffic and skipping the potholes is appealing to say the least.
