Missouri transportation funding: List of Missouri deteriorating bridges keeps growing | Local - KY3.com
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
More and more old bridges are wearing out across Missouri, and the Missouri Department of Transportation says the funding to fix them just isn't there.
"The deck on this bridge is basically wore out. The traffic as you've seen, and as you can hear, is tremendous, a high percentage of trucks. The impact on the bridge is significant," sais MoDOT bridge engineer David O'Connor about the eastbound Interstate 44 bridge over the Spring River in Lawrence County. . . .
It's now scheduled to get a new deck in 2017. But others, like one on Highway H, are on a list of 641 bridges in critical need of attention and not on the repair list.
