[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 227381, member: 2125"] Sammie,, Your definition of "structurally deficient" is incorrect and misleading. A one lane bridge is defined as structurally deficient. A bridge that doesn't give a driver a clear view of it being there, such as when it's immediately around a sharp curve in the road is defined as structurally deficient. A bridge which is suficient for current traffic, but wil not be sufficient for projected future traffic is defined as structurally deficient. The vast majority of those 77,000 bridges you refered to are small one lane bridges, or bridges over small streams on curvey country back roads. A bridge classified as structurally deficient does not necessarly mean the bridge is in immediate danger of falling down, as in the case of the I35 bridge in Mn.. [/QUOTE]
