HUNDREDS of “substandard” bridges on Scotland’s roads are in sore need of repair – with some partially collapsed.
Analysis by the RAC Foundation shows that at least 432 council-run bridges across the country were unable to carry the largest loads at the end of last year.
And a further 39 bridges managed by Transport Scotland were in a similar state of disrepair. The RAC Foundation said problems with even small structures could cause delays for drivers forced to take longer routes.
