Thousands of South Carolinians cross poor condition bridges every day without realizing it. A new study by Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian reveals how South Carolina stacks up to the rest of the nation when it comes to bridge conditions .

Key Findings:

  • South Carolina is the only state in the nation with more than 1 in 4 bridges in poor condition.
  • Of 9,481 bridges, 2,642 of them received a rating of 4 or lower by the Federal Highway Administration.
  • The national average of bridges rated in poor condition is only 10.8% versus South Carolina’s 27.9%.
