NM infrastructure given a rating of "C"

New Mexico's infrastructure has been given a rating of C from from the New Mexico section of the American Society of Civil Engineers. 

The grade has remained the same since the first report card issued in 2005. The report assessed the status of important systems such as bridges, water and airports, to develop the 2012 report card for New Mexico. 

The study, conducted by nearly 50 engineers, took 14 months to complete. 

In large part, the low grades are due to an aging infrastructure that is deteriorating, stressed by increasing demand and the lack of adequate funding to maintain and rehabilitate such systems.
