years vintage bridges
The I-95 bridges were built in the early 1960s and are now more than 50 years old. The same vintage as the I-35 bridge that collapsed in Minnesota back in 2007, killing 13 people and injuring 145.

According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, 32 percent of the major roads in America are now in poor condition and in need of major repairs.
