MAJORITY OF U.S. BRIDGES HAVE SOME DEGREE OF STRUCTURAL DETERIORATION

摘要

This year's Better Roads Bridge Inventory reveals some progress toward reducing the percentage of U.S. bridges rated poor. Since the 2019 inventory, there are 1,039 fewer poor bridges, representing a drop of 2.3 percent. But the survey also shows that bridges rated good are declining, while those rated fair - structurally sound but showing minor structural deterioration - have risen.
