There have been some new factors that have come out. In the interest of full disclosure, Missouri has moved up to fifth worst in roads and fourth worst in bridges.

As two States that are in the heart of the Nation with major interstates crossing our States and traffic going east, west, southwest, and northeast through our States we are essential arteries for transportation for the Nation.
