Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said the collapse should trigger action.
"I think we should look at this tragedy that occurred as a wake-up call for us. We have -- all over the country -- crumbling infrastructure, highways, bridges, dams, and we really need to take a hard look at this," Reid said Thursday. He said it was "the right thing to do" for the infrastructure and the economy. "For every billion dollars we spend in our crumbling infrastructure, 47,000 high-paying jobs are created," Reid said. Most bridges are inspected every two years and receive ratings based on the conditions of various components, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation
