A new federal study showed that Utah has the best-maintained bridges in the entire country.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Transportation celebrating a big milestone as a study found the state is home to the best-maintained bridges in the nation."We are coming in at just under .01% in poor condition on our national highway system bridges," said Becky Nix, UDOT bridge management engineer.
"We take a really strong approach to preserving and maintaining our bridges so that they last longer than what their original design life is," adde Nix. "This one was rated in poor condition and it also had really low vertical clearance. So it had a propensity to get hit by high overhead loads which contributed to its poor condition," Nix explained.
