Key takeaways about the condition of U.S. bridges and their role in the economy

No Comments on Key takeaways about the condition of U.S. bridges and their role in the economy

The rapid collapse of a Baltimore bridge that was struck by large cargo ship highlighted the importance that bridges play in the daily lives of many Americans.

Six construction workers who were on the bridge are presumed dead. The drivers of more than 30,000 vehicles that crossed the bridge daily must find a new route around or over the Patapsco River. And shipments at the Port of Baltimore will be shut down for some time, forcing numerous businesses to find alternative means of getting their goods in and out of the U.S.

Though the Interstate 895 bridge in Baltimore had been in satisfactory condition before the shipping collision, thousands of other bridges stand in poor shape across the U.S. due to aging piers, beams and key structural components.

Here are some takeaways from an Associated Press analysis of the more than 621,000 roadway bridges that are more than 20 feet long and are listed in the federal government’s National Bridge Inventory.

WHYY thanks our sponsors — become a WHYY sponsor

Thousands of poor bridges

Inspectors rate bridges using a 0-9 scale, with 7 or above considered “good.” A “poor” rating reflects a 4 or below on any portion of a bridge’s main components. A mid-range rating is considered “fair.”

About 42,400 U.S. bridges are in poor condition, carrying about 167 million vehicles each day, according to the federal government. Those poor bridges are on average 70 years old.

Of those poor bridges, four-fifths have problems with their substructures (the legs holding them up) or their superstructures (the arms supporting their load). And more than 15,800 of the poor bridges also were listed in poor shape a decade ago, according to AP’s analysis.

Iowa has the greatest number of poor bridges, followed by…

Right to Repair, Jo Piazza on ‘The Sicilian Inheritance’

Post date April 6, 2024
No Comments on Right to Repair, Jo Piazza on ‘The Sicilian Inheritance’

The “right to repair” movement is gaining traction around the country. Four states have passed laws that require manufacturers to make it easier for consumers to repair their devices – a cracked screen, broken phone camera, or busted laptop. There’s legislation in New Jersey, Delaware and a bill in the Pennsylvania Senate, and another in the House. Advocates of these laws say they save consumers money, save the planet from tons of e-waste, and support small local businesses. Joining us to talk about efforts to make tech more fixable are Surera Ward, founder and owner of Girls Fix It, a local tech repair shop, Nathan Proctor, who leads the Public Interest Research Group’s Right to Repair Campaign, and Rep. Kyle Mullins (D-Lackawanna) who tries to introduce a bill to the Pennsylvania State House.

Philadelphia author and podcaster Jo Piazza has a brand new novel out today, The Sicilian Inheritance. It’s set in Sicily with a backdrop of delicious food, incredible landscapes, family secrets, and murder. The spark for the story – the murder mystery part — comes from her own family history, the mysterious death of her great-great grandmother Lorenza. In fact, after finishing her novel, Piazza set off to Sicily to investigate Lorenza’s death and has turned it into a true-crime podcast also called The Sicilian Inheritance. Piazza joins us to talk about her novel, the fictional and real-life murder mysteries, and her other popular podcast, “Under the Influence,” about mommy influencers.

Casey announces $1.35M for Nanticoke Creek restoration project

No Comments on Casey announces $1.35M for Nanticoke Creek restoration project

HANOVER TWP. — When it comes to abandoned coal mine lands, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey on Monday said Pennsylvania has more than most states.

“So I don’t have to tell you what projects like this mean to this area,” said Casey, D-Scranton. “As you look around, you can see quite a view here.”

Casey was in Hanover Township on Monday to announce federal funding to reclaim and restore land impacted by coal mining in Luzerne County.

“With funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, $1,354,600 will be used for the Nanticoke Creek restoration project,” Casey said. “This new funding follows the $244 million Pennsylvania has already received from the infrastructure law.”

Casey said Pennsylvania has already received $270 million for abandoned mine land cleanup — including $244 million from the Casey-backed infrastructure law.

According to Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Acting Secretary Jessica Shirley, who attended the news conference, Pennsylvania leads the nation with $5.1 billion of abandoned mine damaged land.

“To put that into perspective, West Virginia is number two, and they have $2.3 billion in liabilities,” Shirley said.

Casey said President Joe Biden’s federal infrastructure bill provided $3.7 billion for Pennsylvania over the next 15 years to reclaim abandoned mine land.

Terence J. Ostrowski, president/CEO at Earth Conservancy, attended the news conference. He and Elizabeth W. Hughes, director of communications, explained the scope of the Nanticoke Creek restoration project.

Located in the City of Nanticoke, Hanover and Newport townships, and Warrior Run Borough, the Nanticoke Creek watershed is a sub-watershed of the Susquehanna River Basin. Over the past several years, Earth Conservancy has worked with a team of consultants and agencies to develop a comprehensive plan to restore the historic alignment of the upper portions of the Nanticoke Creek.
