There are structurally deficient bridges in Chester County?

All the bridges in the north East have heavy wear from the road salt and require maintenance to extend the life of the bridge.

Good luck and success.

Yeah I would want to know where they are if I were local.  We have a few, but they are on back roads that can really be avoided.  Scarey stuff.  And very cool that you are keeping your town informed about it too.

Hi Susan...Unfortunately there are bridges and other type of infrastructure that are suffering from years of neglect or minimum maintenance. One way or the other we will have to pay.

They say that every dollar of home maintenance that is not done will eventually cost $100 to correct. It is no doubt the same for our country's infrastructure. Meanwhile it is posing safety issues in some instances.

Susan, Our local area has a many years debate going on about replacing a major bridge over the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky.  It carries I-71 and I-75 traffic and is functionally obsolete, no break down lanes, beyond capacity, etc.  Talk about a challenge, you need two states to agree plus the feds, then where is the money going to come from?  Toll road or not?  I suspect 10 years from now they may STILL be arguing over it without resolution.
