Bridges owned by New York’s local governments need an estimated $27.4 billion in repairs, according to a report released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.

While the cost for repairs is staggering, DiNapoli’s report found the number of "structurally deficient" locally-owned bridges has declined in recent years. But concerns about how local governments will find funding for repairs is growing as Washington considers changes to infrastructure aid.
