What These Numbers Mean for Florida

Florida's bridge infrastructure grade of A reflects both the current condition of the state's bridges and the scale of the challenge ahead. With an average bridge age of 42 years, many of these structures are approaching or past the 50-75 year design life typical of most bridges. The state's ability to maintain and replace aging bridges will determine whether conditions improve or deteriorate in the coming decade.
