5. Rhode Island 

Vehicles Per Mile: 134.48 

Rhode Island stands fifth among the most congested states in the US and faces significant challenges with road conditions and congestion. While its highway bridges rank best in the nation, only 51.93% of roads were deemed acceptable in 2020, down from 85.18% in 2000. Congestion is especially pronounced around Providence and key corridors like I-95 and I-195. The state’s Department of Transportation is implementing a 10-year plan to improve infrastructure. Commuters experience high costs due to traffic delays and fuel expenses. To address these issues, Rhode Island is receiving $5.3 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for highway and bridge projects by 2027.
