DOT Gives Out $5.2 Million For New Bridges
Jun 26th, 2009
The Department of Transportation has given out $5.2 million in grants to promote the use of new technology in bridge construction and repair. Bridges are considered a critical weak point of transportation infrastructure, as was demonstrated in August 2007 when a bridge in Minneapolis collapsed due to aging gusset plates.
