Bridges are being destroyed by the country’s increasingly frequent floods and extreme heat. In this regard, the danger of movement of people and freight transport within the country is also increasing. Old and deteriorating bridges are already affecting both raw material prices and logistics.
According to Paul Chinowski, a professor at the University of Colorado, most bridges in the United States are not designed to withstand today’s heat. Temperature changes constantly expand and contract structures, causing them to wear down. Because of this, bridges in the United States will close more frequently in the coming decades.
