O-DOT Chief Calls for More Bridge Money

It was one year ago that an interstate highway bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, killing 13 people and injuring 144. The incident raised questions about the safety of bridges across the country and the adequacy of government inspections. Then and now Ohio's transportation officials have minimized the chances of the Buckeye State would seeing a similar tragedy here. But questions still remain and officials say they need to stay on top of the situation. Bill Cohen reports from Columbus.
