Massachusetts vs national bridge condition
Massachusetts — Good condition share 24.9%
National avg
Share of bridges rated 7-9 on the FHWA 0-9 scale (deck, superstructure, substructure all good).
Massachusetts — Structurally deficient share 26.5%
National avg
Lower is better. Bar maxes at 30% (worst-state ceiling). National average sits at 7.0%.
Condition Distribution
Bridge inventory deck-condition mix — Massachusetts (FHWA NBI)
Massachusetts vs nearby ranks
Adjacent states on the structurally deficient leaderboard (lower share = better)
States are ranked by share of bridges flagged structurally deficient — the FHWA classification for any span where deck, superstructure, or substructure carries a condition rating of 4 or below. Lower percentages indicate stronger maintenance funding and inspection follow-through. States here sit immediately above and below Massachusetts on the same metric.
