Jobs Plan: Fix Our Bridges


This is a bridge in Scott County, Minnesota (national bridge ID 5704).
It was built in 1936. It is now listed as "structurally deficient".

 
This bridge is located in the Second Congressional District
home of Congressman John Kline.


This is one of several bridges within the Second Congressional District which are labeled as "structurally deficient".


This bridge needs to be fixed. This bridge would create jobs.

Recently Congressman John Kline held a town hall where he was asked about jobs and fixing infrastructure - like this bridge.



 Congressman Kline has been in Congress for 10 years.
And knows how not to answer a question.


10 years of ignoring the infrastructure in our Congressional District.

This is just one bridge that needs to be fixed. There are many more. Fixing the "structural deficient" bridges in our Congressional District would create private sector jobs - and those jobs would boost local economies.

Contact Congressman Kline and demand that he creates jobs by fixing the bridges in his district (click for contact information).
