The President proposes a plan to “Fix It First”

>>>
With the country watching, President Obama shone a national spotlight on the pressing issue of dangerous and deficient bridges on roads all across our country.

“Tonight, I propose a “Fix It First” program to put people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs, like the nearly 70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country.”
>>>

Here is a cool interactive map that shows all deficient bridges within a 10 mile radius of any US address.
