(Undated) A report from the National Bridge Inventory reveals Iowa bridge conditions are some of the worst in the country. Four-thousand-571 bridges in Iowa are listed as structurally deficient. That’s more than 19 percent of all bridges in the Hawkeye State. Six of the structurally deficient bridges on the list are on the Interstate Highway System. Iowa isn’t the worst. That dubious title is held by West Virginia where more than 21 percent of all bridges need some work. The Iowa Department of Transportation has identified needed repairs for more than 15 thousand bridges in the state – work that would cost about three-point-one billion dollars.
