Faulty rural bridges strain counties amid budget limits
Washington reports that three roads require costly repairs while county leaders struggle to fund the work. A Norman Walzer co authored study for the National Association of Counties estimates 1.7 million miles of county roads are overburdened by modern use and 165000 bridges need rehabilitation at 110000 to 140000 each potentially pushing total county costs beyond 20 billion dollars.
