How Many Bridges are Structurally Deficient in Your County?

Deficient Bridges Map

The Washington Post published a large, interactive feature on the state of the nation's bridges, mapping the locations of the "structurally deficient" and "functionally obsolete" bridges around the United States. The interactive map zooms to the county level, automatically if users allow the site access to your location. The interactive feature reports that there are 46 structurally deficient bridges, 89 functionally obsolete bridges, and 458 bridges in good condition. Along side the custom report on the county, the feature offers a geo-tagged satellite view of all the deficient and obsolete bridges around the region.
