"Inspector America." They had a structural engineer go to various bridges, damns, seawalls, & give his assessment of the structure. He would sometimes go with the local engineering crew that kept an eye on these things. They would show him exactly where the worst spots were & tell him what had been done & what needs to be done.
In some cases, he would interview the locals. In one case it was a bridge that connected a small community to a larger community. Many people stated something to the effect of, "Every time I have to drive the bridge, I hope it stays till I get to the other side."
I don't think the show is on anymore & I've wondered if people didn't like to watch it because it reminded them of the crumbling infrastructure in their community & which of their bridges might collapse on top of them.
Everyone knows this is a huge issue & it would help America to fix these things in so many ways. Why aren't people on the phone every day demanding Congress do something about jobs & infrastructure? It has to be tons of people every day. But I'm one who's not. 
The seawall in Seattle was pretty shocking.
