Check out www.highways.org which is a Highway Users Safety Advocacy group. They have links to the federal "inventory" of bridge inspections showing exactly which ones were rated unsafe "deficient" with the data organized by highway and geography, so you can find out which bridges in your neck of the woods are in danger of becoming part of a news media circus.
Then you
1. Stop putting yourself and friends in danger ... send the link to your e-mail pals
2. Scream at your Governor and legislators to get the funding to fix the bridges in your neck of the woods
3. Demand of your legislators and state officials, that in the future, when a bridge is found to be safety deficient, this does not beome a national secret from the motoring public, but we get some kind of warning before the last exit from the road leading to the bridge

The statistics say no. Federal inspections produce them. It really a matter of luck.
