Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a great country with a lot to offer, but it has also gained notoriety for harboring some of the worst bridges in the nation, with a staggering 23% of its 22,660 bridges classified as “structurally deficient.” For residents and travelers alike, crossing a bridge in Pennsylvania can sometimes feel like a risky endeavor, prompting a silent prayer or reflection before embarking on the journey.

The high prevalence of structurally deficient bridges underscores the critical need for infrastructure investment and maintenance within the state. Pennsylvania’s aging infrastructure poses safety concerns and highlights the importance of prioritizing the repair and replacement of these vital transportation links to ensure the well-being of those who rely on them.
