East Feliciana County's Poor-condition bridges carry 22,123 vehicle crossings a day
That is 10% of the county's reported daily bridge traffic on 25.6% of its bridges: Poor-condition structures carry less traffic than their share of the inventory. Each Poor bridge averages 651 crossings a day against 1,030 for a Good-condition one. A Poor rating is a condition category, not a closure or a live safety judgement; it means the lowest applicable component rating is 4 or below.

45.1% of East Feliciana County's bridges have passed the 50-year mark
60 of the 133 bridges with a recorded construction year were built in 1974 or earlier. Age alone is not a defect: a well-maintained older bridge can rate Good, and 32.3% of this county's inventory does. Even so, this older cohort is the population from which future Poor ratings are drawn, which is why the age profile below matters alongside the condition split above.
Cutoff derives from the 2024 release year minus a 50-year design life. Source: FHWA National Bridge Inventory, 2024 release.
One structure carries 20.1% of the county's Poor-condition bridge traffic
LA0068 over KARRS CREEK, built 1964, carries 4,439 vehicles a day, the most of any Poor-rated structure here. The county's Poor-condition exposure is concentrated rather than evenly spread, so the 34-bridge count understates how much of the daily burden sits on a single crossing.
