100-Plus Kentucky Bridges Deteriorating, Could Collapse [View all]

Federal records show that more than 100 bridges in Kentucky have advanced deterioration and are at risk of collapsing. The head of the state's transportation agency blames the situation largely on more and heavier traffic than existed when the bridges were built.

According to the most recently available federal government data, on a national basis, 65,605 bridges fall into the category of "structurally deficient." More than 20,800 are considered "fracture critical."
