36% of US Bridges are Needy: ARTBA

More than 220,000 U.S. bridges need major repair work or should be replaced, according to a new report by American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). That total, according to the group, represents 36 percent of all U.S. bridges. ARTBA based the number on its analysis of the 2020 National Bridge Inventory database released by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
