  Atlanta ranks No. 1 in the country on a list of the top 10 U.S. cities with infrastructure concerns. And Atlanta's biggest infrastructure concerns should come as no surprise: roads and bridges.
  
  That's according to an analysis of nearly 10,500 tweets discussing infrastructure from more than 4,000 Twitter users. QSR International of Australia, a research software developer, said it conducted the analysis.
  
  Chris Astle, CEO of QSR International, in a statement.
