About Poor Condition Bridge Ratings
FHWA rates bridge components on a 0-9 scale. A rating of 4 or below on any major component (deck, superstructure, substructure) classifies the bridge as Poor condition. The bridge remains open to traffic but requires priority attention. Bridges rated 0-2 are immediately closed.
