The State Department of Transportation wants to keep motorists on dry ground… with its Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Plan. The Department says about 1-thousand bridges are just chips and cracks away from hazardous deterioration. Director Pete Rahn says the department qualified 800 of them for their program. Rahn warns if the bridges aren’t addressed soon they will eventually have to be closed. The department closes 12 to 15 bridges each year.
