Table T3 ASCE: Key Infrastructure Facts Bridges: • Sixteen percent of Nevada’s bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. • There are 165 high hazard dams in Nevada...whose failure would cause a loss of life and significant property damage. • Twenty-seven of Nevada’s 744 dams are in need of rehabilitation to meet applicable state dam safety standards. • Thirty-five percent of high hazard dams in Nevada have no emergency action plan (EAP). An EAP is a predetermined plan of action to be taken including roles, responsibilities and procedures for surveillance, notification and evacuation to reduce the potential for loss of life and property damage in an area affected by a failure or mis-operation of a dam. Roads: • Vehicle travel on Nevada’s highways increased 117% from 1990 to 2007. • Thirteen percent of Nevada’s roads are in poor or mediocre condition. • Fifty-nine percent of Nevada’s major urban highways are congested. • Nevada’s transportation department has identified 10 mega projects costing an estimated $4.8 billion that need to be completed by 2015 to avoid gridlock in urban areas.
