Bridges are an essential part of allowing us to get from point A to point B. Without them, we would be unable to freely get around while on our commutes and family trips. We know there have been massive bridge collapses due to natural disasters, but what would you think if you knew that over 45,000 of American bridges have been deemed structurally deficient? Structurally deficient bridges have led to catastrophes like the I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota in 2007, killing 13 people, and the recent closure of the I-40 bridge near Memphis. These aren’t isolated incidents either -- 4 out of 10 U.S. bridges need to be replaced or repaired. Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they discuss the terrifying nature of America’s crumbling bridges.
