The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held a hearing on structurally deficient bridges in the United States. Chairman Oberstar’s initiative addressed the need to repair, rehabilitate, or replace the aging, failing bridges on the National Highway System. The initiative would improve bridge inspection requirements, provide dedicated funding, distribute funds based on public safety and need, and establish a trust fund to provide a dedicated source of revenue for the repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of structurally deficient bridges.

Part 2 of the hearing featured testimony by state and local officials, transportation planners, and engineers. close
