MSNBC has been doing some in-depth reporting about the state of America’s bridges. They’ve done a state-by-state assessment of bridge inspections and safety standards and have found a good deal of inconsistencies and bad inspection schedules. They’ve also put these details on a map mashup of Microsoft Virtual Earth.
Be certain to take a close look at the routes you regularly drive. The site has details on more than 100,000 bridges with traffic of at least 10,000 vehicles per day.
