Report Finds More Than 47,000 ‘Structurally Deficient’ Bridges In The U.S.
New York’s Brooklyn Bridge is one of more than 47,000 bridges identified as “structurally deficient,”
according to the annual report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association.
The collapse of a bridge earlier this week in Tennessee is raising new alarms about the delicate state of infrastructure across the U.S.
According to a new report from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association,
more than 47,000 bridges in the U.S. are in poor condition and in need of urgent repairs.
The organization, which analyzes data from the Federal Highway Administration and releases an annual report on bridges, estimates it will take more than 80 years to fix all of the nation’s deficient bridges.
