Troubled Bridges Over the Nation’s Waters

USA Today dedicates its front page to a new study that finds 63,000 bridges in the United States are structurally compromised. The report comes amid fears that the federal Highway Trust Fund, which provides funds for road and transit projects, is running out of money and could become insolvent by the fall unless Congress acts. The fund is paid for by the federal gas tax, which hasn’t been raised since 1993.
