The bulk of the funding to address these shortcomings will come from the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, which includes:

Precast concrete components will increasingly be incorporated into new and repair road and bridge projects despite their higher cost. For example:

Precast Concrete Products provides historical data for 2011, 2016, and 2021 and forecasts to 2026 for precast concrete product demand in millions of dollars by product, market, and region and subregion.
