Written by Teunis Felter

A new report says the Brooklyn Bridge and Washington’s Arlington Memorial Bridge are among thousands of spans considered structurally deficient. The American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s analysis of transportation department data shows more than 55,000 bridges in the U.S. have been deemed deficient. Deficient bridges are crossed about 185 million times a day. The top 14 most-traveled deficient bridges are located in California.
