Georgia bridge inspections

It was only one year ago when a highway bridge collapsed in Minnesota, claiming the lives of 13 people.

Since then, states have rushed to inspect similarly-designed bridges. A recent review from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts found about 9 percent of the state's bridges were classified as structurally deficient in 2007. Bridges mostly likely to be deficient were maintained by local governments rather than those managed by the state, according to the audit.

Below is a database of inspections for more than 16,000 bridges in Georgia from the Federal Highway Administration's National Bridge Inventory. Using factors such as structural adequacy, serviceability and traffic volume, each bridge is assigned a sufficiency rating. Bridges with scores of 80% or less are eligible for federal bridge rehabilitation money and those with ratings of 50% or less are eligible for federal bridge replacement funding.
