2017 National Bridge Report

American Road and Transportation Buildings Association

National Bridge Inventory: Texas

Of the 53,488 bridges in the state, 900, or 2%, are classified as structurally deficient. This means one or more of the key bridge elements, such as the deck, superstructure or substructure, is considered to be in "poor" or worse condition.

8,997 bridges, or 17%, are classified as functionally obsolete. This means the bridge does not meet design standards in line with current practice.

1,525 bridges are posted for load, which may restrict the size and weight of vehicles crossing the structure.

Federal investment in Texas has supported $8.0 billion for capital improvements on 4,639 bridges between 2005 and 2014.2

Over the last 10 years, 5,942 new bridges have been constructed in the state; 1,292 have undergone major reconstruction.

The state has identified needed repairs on 12,106 bridges, which the state estimates will cost $8 billion.3

Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan
Summary
In support of the Texas General Land Office’s legislative authorization to restore, enhance and protect the state’s coastal natural resources, the Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan (Plan) will provide a framework for community, socio-economic, ecologic and infrastructure protection from coastal hazards, including short-term direct impact (e.g., flooding, storm surge) and long-term gradual impacts (e.g., erosion, habitat loss).
