Tennessee DOT identified 111 bridges to be replaced or repaired

Quote:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Department of Transportation on Friday identified 111 bridges to be replaced or repaired under its program to reduce the number of structurally deficient bridges in the state.

The bridge projects are the first set in a four-year, $350 million bonding program approved by the Legislature earlier this year.

The projects "will improve the safety and reliability of more than one hundred bridges in Tennessee," Gov. Phil Bredesen said in a release. "Addressing these projects now rather than later allows us to take advantage of today's lower construction costs."

Steel and iron scrap prices fell nearly 57 percent between June 2008 and June 2009, and cement prices dropped 15 percent over the same period, according to federal Bureau of Labor statistics cited by TDOT.
