An interesting map showing the location of structurally deficient bridges in the US.

Considering 1/4 of bridges in the US are deficient or functionally obsolete, it's going to be a pretty busy map.

To get hit by a truck and used as stew......

Which may start happening to us unless we start fixing them!!

Structurally deficient does not necessarily mean unsafe. Probably should get serious attention in the near future, though it could be something as simple as water overtopping during flood conditions with the structure itself being completely sound.
