Safe Bridges Act seeks up to 57 million for West Virginia repairs
U S Representative Nick Rahall introduces the SAFE Bridges Act to fund aging bridges nationwide with a needs based formula. West Virginia would receive 57 million to address roughly 2500 bridges in need of rehabilitation or replacement in southern West Virginia and beyond. The bill adds to existing federal highway funds and aims to reduce a national backlog of structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges following the I 5 bridge collapse in Washington State.
