On the subject of weak bridges, Pennsylvania's politicians finally  
bit the bullet and today released a list of structurally deficient  
bridges.   Except for a couple in Carbon County and one over the  
Lehigh River at West Catasauqua, most are either in Erie County (both  
eastbound and westbound spans on I-95 at Northeast PA), or Allegheny,  
or Beaver or Washington counties.   The Rankin Bridge, that replaced  
the one that fell under the over loaded work car in 1937, is one of  
those on today's list of spans you really don't want to cross.     
Another (get this one Jerry) is the Donora to Monessen span.
