Andrew Herrmann, PE, Appears on 60 Minutes to Discuss America’s Aging Bridges

November 25, 2014

H&H Principal Emeritus, Andrew Herrmann, PE, appeared this past Sunday on CBS News’ 60 Minutes program to discuss the need for immediate work on many of the nation’s bridges. Herrmann was among several experts interviewed for the piece, including former Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and Amtrak President Joe Boardman.

According to the piece, one in nine bridges in the U.S. are structurally deficient and the gas tax, last increased in 1993, simply cannot fully-fund a 2014 transportation network.  As Herrmann said, “It all comes down to funding.”
