WASHINGTON—It’s time to modernize America’s infrastructure, business leaders say, as it is out of date and holding the economy back.

President Donald Trump announced he would roll out his plans on infrastructure soon. His administration is working to modernize “crumbling infrastructure by stimulating a $1 trillion investment,” he said during a meeting with Mayors at the White House on Jan. 24.
