Summary:

Recent news reports on the condition of highway bridges, based on newly released data from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), generally focus on the large number of bridges classified as deficient or on an increase in deficient bridges in a particular state. These reports, however, tend not to address the overall decline in the number of deficient bridges in 2014 and the long-term downward trend, particularly among bridges posing structural safety concerns.
