Pennsylvania Prioritizes Bridge Repair
Jul 11th, 2008
Pennsylvania has passed a law authorizing itself to borrow $350 million in bonds to repair 411 state-owned bridges, out of an estimated 6,000 that are thought to be structurally deficient or insufficient for current or projected useage. Added to other sources of funding, this will allow the state to spend $1.7 billion on bridge repair this year, out of an estimated $11 billion needed to fix all 6,000 bridges.
