What is infrastructure?

Infrastructure is the very soul of our daily activity; we not only use it every day, we depend on it. Whether it’s the road you drive on, the train you catch, the bridge you cross or the building you work in, infrastructure provides that enrichment. So it’s important that we add new infrastructure to develop the country in order to provide and maintain a better lifestyle and future for everyone. But it’s equally important that we also sustain the existing infrastructure so that it can meet or exceed its expected lifecycle.
