The state Department of Transportation says it will re-inspect 54 bridges that an employee says he and his partner filed inspection reports on, but never visited. That longtime employee of the department has now resigned his job. DOT chief Gena Abraham says David Simmons’ falsified reports began showing up last fall. The DOT says it has no reason to believe the bridges are unsafe, but will check to make sure. Simmons has been with the DOT for 29 years.
