Comparison with Previous ReportsExhibit 7-9 contains a comparison of the bridge investment requirements for this report and the previous three reports. The values reported have grown over time for both scenarios, but this is largely due to inflation. In constant dollar terms, the investment required for Maintain Backlog scenario (Cost to Maintain in the 1993, 1995, and 1997 reports) has declined over this time. This is because the number of deficient bridges has declined. The investment required for the Eliminate Deficiencies scenario (Cost to Improve in the 1993, 1995, and 1997 reports) has fluctuated, but remained between $10 and $11 billion annually in constant dollars.
