Kansas bridges flagged as deficient in ARTBA report
Bob Totten of the Kansas Contractors Association warns that Kansas ranks sixth worst for structurally deficient bridges, with 2,303 of 25,047 in need of rebuilding. He blames a $2.1 billion diversion from the T-Works road program over six years, which will curb bridge repairs and reduce annual fixes from 115 to about 58, threatening jobs and state economy. Totten urges citizens to contact legislators to restore funding for safer roads and stronger economic growth.
