The National Bridge Inventory dataset is as of June 20, 2025 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The data describes more than 624,000 of the Nation's bridges located on public roads, including Interstate Highways, U.S. highways, State and local roads, as well as publicly-accessible bridges on Federal and Tribal lands. The inventory data presented includes information on the location, description, classification, and general condition for each bridge. The Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation's Bridges (Coding Guide) contains a detailed description of each data element including coding instructions and attribute definitions. The Coding Guide is available at: https://doi.org/10.21949/1519105. For additional questions regarding regulations for the National Bridge Inventory or the Coding Guide please contact the National Bridge and Tunnel Inventory team at NBTIS_Support@dot.gov. For questions on the geospatial component of the dataset, contact the NTAD team at NTAD@dot.gov.

Scouring of streambed material surrounding bridge structures is a leading cause of bridge failure in the United States. Damages resulting from bridge failure oftentimes lead to financial burdens and loss of life. To date, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of the current (2016) effectiveness of the guidance or overall long-term performance of bridge-scour countermeasures provided in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 23, Bridge Scour and Stream Instability Countermeasures. To that end, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, obtained bathymetric, topographical, and other data at 20 sites across the United States to begin an evaluation of the effectiveness of bridge-scour countermeasures. This data release contains the supplemental bathymetric and topographic data for Dudunake and others (2018).

This file contains location and identification information for bridges in Oregon. This includes bridges owned by the state, cities, counties, and other owners such as railroad bridges that cross state highways. It does not include bridges that are owned by Federal agencies. A bridge is a structure including supports erected over a depression or an obstruction, such as water, highway, or railway, and having a track or passageway for carrying traffic or other moving loads and having an opening measured along the center of the roadway of more than 20 feet.

This dataset provides locations which have the Bridge Hold as one of the stipulations. The information gives the location of all the blocks and the intersections within 100 feet of a Bridge Structure.

The United State Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) collects and updates information on the nation's bridges that are located on public roads, including both interstate and US highways, state and county roads, and publicly accessible bridges on federal land. This collection of information is known as the National Bridge Inventory (NBI), and it has been captured electronically since 1972. While parts of the data were first made available to the public in 1997, it wasn't until 2007 that the FWHA decided to make all elements of the NBI database publicly available.

This NBI data set contains 135 variables describing over 600,000 bridges. Variables describe the location, structure, maintenance, usage, status, and other aspects of the bridges. An extremely detailed (124 page) pdf guide to the variables, codes, and other metadata on the NBI can be found here:

Inspiration

This data set contains variables describing the cost of bridge (ITEM94) and roadway (ITEM95) improvement in thousands of dollars. How many improvement projects could be completed for $20B?

Use of the NBI data also enables FHWA to satisfy its requirements under 23 U.S.C. 144, which mandate the inventory, classification, cost estimates for replacement or rehabilitation, and assignment of replacement or rehabilitation priorities for all highway bridges on all public roads. Can you come up with better cost estimates and classifications? For example, in the absence of additional information, FHWA recommends using 10% of the bridge cost as a roadway improvement cost estimator.

Using Latitude and Longitude data and operational status (ITEM41), can you find any bridges to nowhere?

These data are supplemental rip-rap gradation data (Wolman Pebble Count) in text (.txt) format, collected during 2014-2018 field seasons for select bridges in the United States. These data were collected using a measuring tape to determine riprap gradation (D15, D50, D85, and D100) on in-place riprap at bridge piers and/or abutments at various locations in each study reach. They supplement the Geospatial Data for Bridge Scour Countermeasure Assessments at Select Bridges in the United States, 2016–18. For high-resolution sites, traditional multibeam surveys were conducted using methods described in Huizinga (2015).
