LinkLinksOpinion David C. Bauer in The Post: There’s no time to wait on fixing D.C.’s roads. Public safety demands action now. By Editor On Apr 19, 2019 Last updated Apr 19, 2019 36 Share If placed end to end, the length of structurally deficient bridges in the D.C. area would stretch nearly four miles and cover the area of 18 football fields, according to a new analysis of federal government data we released this month. Nationally, there are more than 47,000 such structures. In the DMV, 145 structurally deficient bridges need urgent repair, with reconstruction work needed on 2,000 structures, accounting for half of all the bridges in the area. This work would cost an estimated $3.6 billion. DC Department of TransportationPotholesRoad constructionTransportation 36 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
