A new report titled, "The Fix We're in For: The State of Michigan's Bridges", shows that Michigan ranks as the 13th worst nationally in overall condition of the state's bridges.
The report shows one out of every eight bridges that motorists in Michigan cross each day have some degree of deteroriation. Michigan is currently spending all of its federal bridge money on bridge repair. In 2008, Michigan spent $166 million, or 20.5% of all federal funds on bridge upkeep. The U.S. average is 13 percent.
Transportation infrastructure is a strategic investment that is essential to strengthening Michigan's economy. The Michigan Municipal League is working with our state and national partners to increased resources to repair and rebuild our state's bridges and overall infrastrcuture.
