Shawnee County has 59 bridges in need of repair or corrective action, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation. None are designated unsafe. “If we had any bridges that were unsafe, the road would be closed,” Shawnee County public works director Curt Niehaus said. Bridges are flagged for needing to be repaired for two primary reasons — the bridge is either structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
