“...A lot of their impressive infrastructure was built on the cheap and will not survive over time...”
As opposed to the potholes and falling bridges built by corrupt, connected political donor contractors in Illinois, New Jersey, New York, California etc?

Exactly the same.
The only difference is the scale of corruption.
Oh in that kind of corruption they at least build the bridge. Here in DC down the road is a very minor bridge over a stream. The bridge is about 50 ft long and it is two lanes wide. They have been paying some well connected fraudster for years to work on that bridge. Who knew you could have a construction company and have a lifetime career and a comfortable retirement all on one small stretch of road. Marion Barry’s spirit lives on here.
Oh sure, knock Jersey. You want to see how f’ed up things would be imagine if the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike were ever shut down.
Most , if not all the the eastern seaboard would be a world of s**t.
