Follow on Google News | BidPRime Reports on Government Bids to Detect and Repair the State of U.S. Bridge InfrastructureThe report analyzes the number of government bids issued in last year for the maintenance and service of existing bridge infrastructure across the U.S., while taking into account an estimated 61,064 bridges are considered structurally deficient.
By: BidPrime Bill Culhane, VP of Marketing at BidPrime, pointed out, “Most estimates show that $1 trillion is needed to cover maintenance and repair costs. In the past year, government agencies have submitted 1,074 bid requests to service the sixty thousand plus bridges in need of repair. It seems quite evident that acknowledgement, commitment and funding are areas needing to be addressed.” Lead researcher Braedon Avants added, “Our research showed that the states with the highest number, or percentage, of structurally deficient bridges didn’t exactly correlate to where the bid requests are originating.” States with most structurally deficient bridges: 1. Pennsylvania 2. Iowa 3. Oklahoma 4. Missouri 5. Nebraska States with highest percentage of structurally deficient bridges: 1. Rhode Island 2. Pennsylvania 3. Iowa 4. South Dakota 5. Oklahoma States with most applicable bid requests for the testing, analysis and maintenance of existing bridges: 1. California 2. New York 3. Texas 4. Virginia 5.
