Nevada’s infrastructure improved from a “C” grade in March to a “C+,” according to the Nevada Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) 2025 Report Card for Nevada’s Infrastructure.
The state received a “B-“ in the bridges and wastewater categories, a “C+” in the aviation, energy and public parks categories, a “C” in the roads category, and a “C-“ in the dams and drinking water categories.
“Nevadans should be proud that state and local leaders have prioritized the infrastructure systems they depend on every day, which led to the highest grade ASCE has ever assigned the state’s infrastructure,” Chuck Joseph, 2025 Report Card for Nevada’s Infrastructure co-chairman, said. “While there are signs of progress, the report card highlights the challenges all Nevadans will need to address to ensure these systems remain reliable and resilient for the future. By prioritizing investment now and budgeting for the cost of a system’s entire lifespan, all Nevadans will benefit.”
The report card also includes several recommendations for how the state can raise its grades.
The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 160,000 civil engineers worldwide. A “C+” grade is the highest grade ASCE has ever assigned to a state’s infrastructure. Only Georgia, Utah, and Wisconsin also have “C+” grades.
