Place Database

Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, has more structurally deficient bridges than any other county in the United States—201 of 1,250, or 16 percent. Improvements would cost at least $150 million.

Structurally deficient bridges are characterized by deteriorating conditions and reduced load-carrying capacity. Although this classification does not imply that a bridge is unsafe, it does indicate that the bridge likely requires significant repair and maintenance to remain in service and eventually may need major rehabilitation or replacement.
