PA doesn’t just have too many bridges. PennDOT has responsibility for too many bridges and too many miles of roads that wouldn’t be considered state roads in any other state.
Well, see, in Virginia VDOT has responsibility for almost every road that isn’t in a city, town, or the few counties that maintain their own roads.
And there aren’t many cities or towns in Virginia.
But when VDOT doesn’t have the money to fix a bridge, they just close it. So sorry, get used to driving an extra 40 miles.
