Description
On the East Coast, a large number of bridges were built in the 1950s and 1960s with a projected life span of 50 to 60 years. With reductions in budgets and the overwhelming majority of these bridges in need of retrofitting and repairs, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has had to prioritize projects by need and cost.
