75000 other bridges had the same "structurally deficient" classification in 2007. The I-35 bridge was at the 4th percentile for structural sufficiency when rated with 100000 bridges in 2005.
We are sending out engineers every year to look at bridges, and every year they are very nervous when turning in their reports. Whether things get fixed or not is often due to the economic situation at the time the report is made, and the local political will.
What I'm mainly worried about is dams, not bridges: https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/local/community/2017/02/17/alabama-has-biggest-dam-problem-us/97945728/ https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/local/commun...
