From what I understand, lots. Not a majority, but a sizeable percentage. A lot of the interstate infrastructure was built 40+ years ago, so these things are entering advanced middle age. And the routine maintenace and inspection is the kind of thing that gets put off when budgets are tight, for both cities and states.
