Ohio Bridges Rated Unsafe In State Survey
A conference in Columbus heard that 6,000 of Ohio’s 25,000 bridges are unsafe for current traffic. Engineers estimated 500 million dollars needed for adequate bridges and urged a 2,000 mile road buildout costing about 600 million. If funded, ten years of state highway funds would still not cover the bridge program. Gov Lausche called for a guiding handbook and posed four questions on truck weights and road usage. A committee was formed to report by February 1 with testing to explore these issues.
