Almost 231,000 American bridges — more than a third of the nation's bridges — need repair or should be completely replaced, according to analysis of federal data by an infrastructure investment advocacy group.
“Our bridge network is underfunded and should be modernized. State and local government just haven’t been given the necessary financial resources to fully address the problem," ARTBA Chief Economist Dr. Alison Premo Black, who led the team conducting the analysis, said in a statement.
He added that a focus on infrastructure could help the country dig out from the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus. More than 69,500 bridges are not operating at their full capacity, or"posted for load," which means there are weight restrictions on them so as not to stress their structures.
