REPORT SUGGESTS PENNSYLVANIA’S HIGHWAYS BRIDGE MOST DETERIORATED

A report from a national transportation research nonprofit is suggesting that Pennsylvania has some of the most deteriorated highways and bridges in the country. TRIP’s report ranked the state 11th-worst in the nation for the condition of its interstate system and the 12th worst in the nation for the condition and structural integrity of its interstate bridges. Researchers say as the U.S. Interstate Highway System turns 65, it is congested, carries significant levels of travel and lacks adequate funding to make needed repairs and improvements. They added it needs to be rebuilt and expanded to meet the nation’s growing transportation needs.
