Michigan

Despite its cinematic fame with 8 Mile showcasing Detroit, Michigan has an unfortunate reputation for having some of the worst roads in the entire United States. While the movie might have put the city back on the map, it’s evident that every other mile in the state is plagued by deteriorating road conditions.

What makes this issue particularly glaring is the fact that Michigan consistently ranks at the bottom when it comes to road infrastructure spending, allocating just $174 per person annually, the lowest per capita spending compared to other states. For residents navigating these rough roads daily, it’s a testament to the dire need for infrastructure improvements. Perhaps the silver lining is that many opt for SUVs, a practical choice for tackling Michigan’s challenging roadways.
