Trans. director says bridges and roads aging

DENVER — It may not be visible from the car, but Colorado roads and bridges are aging and need attention, state transportation director Russell George warned Wednesday.

State officials are asking the public what to do about it after lawmakers tried and failed to come up with their own plan this year.

“First of all, do you know and understand what you have in transportation, are you satisfied with it?” George said Wednesday at a transportation summit. “Are you thinking forward about how you want to maintain it, what do you want to add to it, and if the answer is at least the same or more, are you willing to pay more for it?”
