Maine’s precarious bridges are only getting worse – and are now among the most vulnerable nationwide.
That’s according to a new national analysis of the condition of the country’s highway spans.
“Maine and Wyoming were the only states to have an increase in the number of poorly rated bridges,” says a new survey.
The Pine Tree State in fact rates No. 1 nationally in failing to maintain bridge upkeep.
Maine, with 2,542 bridges, has the fourth-highest ranking nationwide of bridges in bad condition – 392 of the 2,542.
The shocking bridge report is consistent with a national survey last year showing Maine has the worst public infrastructure of all 50 states, earning it an embarrassing grade of “F.”
