Idk... I'm pretty sure US has solid infrastructure on average. In Illinois the roads / bridges have to withstand temperatures ranging form 110F to -20F every year. My house withstands the same temperatures, hail, winds 70+ mph 3-4 times a year. A foot of snow in the winter.

"U.S. Infrastructure" is some of the best of the world and also varies WILDLY between states. Each state manages its own infrastructure, so it's unfair to compare the US as a whole vs individual states.

The weather in Illinois is much more robust than say, Germany or the UK. The UK is much closer to the weather of Portland than that of Illinois.
