NYSDOT: Most Bridges Safe to Cross

The NYS Department of Transportation recently released its list of deficient bridges in Allegany County. Of the 420 bridges in the County, eighty are rated as "structurally deficient" and twenty are classified as "functionally obsolete". That's an increase of 13% over last year, when 71 bridges were cursed with the "structurally deficient" label. For those commuters willing to alter their route, Allegany County's worst bridge is over the north branch of Philips Creek on State Route 244 (Town of Amity). For those who aren't willing to detour, don't say you weren't warned.
