PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – State engineers next week will review records of 53 bridges that lack the safety systems that keep the bridges standing if one part fails and will determine if any of the bridges should be re-inspected, state officials said.

Most state bridges have such systems, called “redundancies,” but there was no indication of problems with the 53 that do not, state officials said. The review of the records will begin Monday, The Providence Journal reported.

“There is no mandate to do this,” said Kazem Farhoumand, deputy chief engineer for the state Department of Transportation. “Just in an abundance of caution we will determine if these bridges should be inspected again, or inspected more frequently.”

The focus on bridge safety comes after the fatal collapse of a bridge in Minneapolis that left at least five people dead and another eight bodies likely trapped in the wreckage, according to authorities.

Since the accident Wednesday, state officials have worked to assure Rhode Islanders of the safety of state bridges. The state Turnpike and Bridge Authority said $50 million has been spent in the last 10 years on engineering and maintenance.

Rhode Island has the lowest percentage in the nation of bridges listed as “structurally deficient” – the designation of the bridge in Minneapolis – or “functionally obsolete.”

Of the state’s 764 bridges, 176 are structurally deficient, which means they have some structural issues that engineers are monitoring. Another 222 bridges are functionally obsolete, which generally means they lack ideal width or height, the Journal reported.

Rhode Island does not have any bridges with steel truss construction similar to the bridge in Minneapolis.

“We have every reason to believe that every Rhode Island bridge currently open to traffic is safe and does not pose a threat to the driving public,” said Gov. Don Carcieri.
