New York has nearly a dozen bridges in need of risk assessment, NTSB report says
The National Transportation Safety Board has identified 68 bridges in 19 states, including 11 in New York, lacking current vulnerability assessments. While not suggesting imminent collapse, the report recommends owners evaluate risk levels following the Baltimore bridge disaster. Professor Magued Iskander highlighted protection options: "You need something that will absorb the energy of an impact because the bridge structure is not designed to take such an impact in most cases."
