Pennsylvania must now find another source of revenue to bridge a transportation funding shortfall estimated at $1.7 billion in November 2006.
The state has about 8,500 miles of roadway rated in “poor condition,” said Rich Kirkpatrick, a state Transportation Department spokesman. The state has 6,034 bridges rated as structurally deficient as of June 30, the most of any state in the U.S., Kirkpatrick said.
