DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Advocates seeking more funding for Iowa’s bridges and roads are launching a new advertising campaign. In a television ad that started airing Monday, a narrator notes the thousands of structurally deficient bridges in Iowa. At the end of the ad, paid for by the Iowa Good Roads Association, the voice of an emergency operator says: “We have a bridge collapse with a bus full of school children.”

David Scott, executive director of the association, says the ad will air across the state for two weeks. Scott says his group, which includes trucking companies and auto dealers, wants to see an increase in dedicated road funding. Gov. Terry Branstad has said he was open to ideas for increasing road construction funding.
