A LOOK AT WHAT SOME STATES ARE DOING. OREGON BRIDGES DISAPPEARING?

It is reported that $60,000-worth of aluminum bridge railing and brackets and extruded aluminum road signs have been stolen from Oregon highways. Some incidents of thefts are described. Citizens have been asked to report suspicious activities, and Portland-area bridge crews are tack-welding nuts on mounting bolts in replacement sections in an attempt to prevent removal.
