WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) - Officials say 21 bridges in Carroll County that are too short to get federal funding will be inspected through a deal between the county and the state.
The county's Board of Commissioners recently gave the Bureau of Engineering approval for a pact with State Highway Administration to inspect the 21 bridges.
Debbie Butler, chief of the bureau, tells The Carroll County Times bridges longer than 20 feet are covered by federal funding.
The cost to inspect the short bridges is more than $50,000.
