The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has released their 2017 U.S. deficient bridge report and analysis prepared by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). The report inventories more than 55,000 structurally deficient U.S. bridges, 1,900 of which are located along the Interstate Highway System. Within the report, ARTBA’s Chief Economist, Dr. Alison Premo Black, notes “the inventory of structurally-deficient bridges has declined 0.5% since the 2015 report. At that pace, it would take more than two decades to replace or repair all of them.” The report has in-depth and state-specific information on structurally-deficient bridges, national bridge inventory totals and proposed bridge work by location. The full context of the report and its analysis can be found here.
