Rodney Mallett from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) joins the show to discuss the National Transportation and Safety Board's (NTSB) request to inspect nearly 50 bridges nationwide, including eight in Baton Rouge, following a Baltimore bridge collapse. The NTSB's stricter criteria focus on vulnerability to vessel impacts. Mallett reassures that Louisiana regularly assesses bridge safety, especially for major Mississippi River bridges, and collaborates with the Coast Guard and Mississippi River pilots. He highlights the robustness of these bridges and the importance of extra caution for critical infrastructure. The report on these inspections is expected in 30 days.
