Structurally Deficient Bridges

In North Carolina, there are 1,130 bridges considered “structurally deficient.”

By modernizing and diversifying the way we fund the maintenance and improvement of North Carolina’s bridges, we can ensure safety and reduce potential bridge failures.

What is a structurally deficient bridge, exactly?

It means the structure has cracks, damage, wear, or other problems that if not monitored or fixed, could become worse and lead to failure in the future. (Source)
