Overweight Trucks Strain Roads and Bridges Nationwide
The AP reports more than 500000 overweight trucks traveled U.S. roads under state permits, raising concerns among officials about wear on bridges and highways. Experts note some collapses, like Minneapolis and Milwaukee, were linked to heavy loads, while others argue many bridges tolerate excess weight. Authorities say laws and permits shape the practice, with distrust over safety and funding.
