Bridge inspectors hide behind terrorism concerns --AP: More than 1,500 Illinois bridges have worse structural ratings than the Minneapolis bridge that collapsed last month. 02 Sep 2007 Illinoisans who want to know about the safety of local bridges can't get the information easily. The Department of Transportation won't release inspection reports that provide detailed information about bridge conditions. Citing fears of 'terrorism,' agency officials claim those reports are not public documents.
