For these crumbling states, including several in New England, the money can't come a moment too soon.
The I-64 Bridge, between St. Albans, WV and Nitro, WV is closed in both eastbound lanes on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020 due to an emergency structural problem.'s Division of Highways ordered a bridge in Kanawha Falls closed to all traffic because it was structurally unsound. That was in 2018.
The bridge is still closed, turning a half-mile trip over the Kanawha River into nearly 20 miles. It would be one thing if this was the only such situation in the Mountain State. But 20% of the state's bridges are in poor condition, the worst in the nation. West Virginia is within a day's drive of more population than any other state, if only all the roads and bridges worked.
