Culebra County's Poor-condition bridges carry 4,500 vehicle crossings a day
That is 100% of the county's reported daily bridge traffic on 100% of its bridges: Poor-condition structures carry the same share of traffic than their share of the inventory.

0% of Culebra County's bridges have passed the 50-year mark
0 of the 1 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 0% 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 100% of the county's Poor-condition bridge traffic
PR 250 over ENSENADA CHANNEL, built 1979, carries 4,500 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 1-bridge count understates how much of the daily burden sits on a single crossing.
