Florida Bridge Infrastructure: A Complete Analysis

Florida is home to 13,070 bridges spanning 67 counties, making it one of the most significant bridge inventories in the country. These bridges carry a combined 263,634,174 vehicle crossings every day. Here is a comprehensive look at the state of Florida's bridge infrastructure based on the latest National Bridge Inventory data.

Florida earns an overall infrastructure grade of A based on the percentage of its bridges in poor condition. Currently, 360 bridges (2.8%) are rated poor, compared to the national average of 6.7%. The average bridge in Florida is 42 years old, younger than the national average of 48 years.

Of the state's 13,070 bridges, 7,705 are in good condition, 5,005 are fair, and 360 are poor. View the full breakdown on the [Florida report card](/reports/florida).

These are the bridges carrying the highest daily traffic volumes across Florida. High-traffic bridges are critical infrastructure -- their condition directly affects the commutes of tens of thousands of drivers.

The following bridges have the lowest sufficiency ratings in Florida. These structures are the most likely candidates for federal repair or replacement funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Florida's oldest bridges tell the story of the state's transportation history. Some of these structures have been in continuous service for over a century.

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.
