Editorial notes a bridge on the Neosho Crawford county line collapsed Wednesday, dropping a car and driver into the stream with only a lip cut. The bridge served a bus route, and officials admit not all county bridges carrying schools are proven safe. A safety survey is underway.
The county hosts 172 bridges over 20 feet with eight spanning the Neosho River. Many date from the 1870s and are deteriorated. New creek bridges cost 50 000 to 100 000 dollars each, river bridges about 250 000 dollars, funded only via bond issues. The author calls for closing all county bridges until certified safe.
The piece argues unsafe county bridges stem from heavy loads and lax enforcement, not only aging. It criticizes drivers who ignore limits, notes scarce funds for repair, and calls for a fresh, total reassessment of the county road and bridge system to prevent collapses and ensure safety.
