Two regional infrastructure projects among ten worst in the country

If you were to guess which two projects made it into Popular Mechanics "The 10 Pieces of U.S. Infrastructure We Must Fix Now" list, what would they be. You might want to say the north/south corridor in Spokane, but it's not.

You would be correct if you said the Al ska Way Viaduct. It ranked #5, but the most surprising project on the list is the Dover Bridge near Sandpoint, Idaho. Stunningly, this $25 million replacement project ranked 7th in the nation.

It's nice to be known for something I guess...
