By KRNV-TV

The American Road and Transportation Builder’s Association recently released an analysis of the Department of Transportation’s bridge inventory data.

Nevada ranked best with only 1.6 percent of bridges receiving a ‘structurally deficient’ rating. The national average is 8.9 percent.

These bridge elements are rated on a scale from 0 to 9, with 0 representing a failed condition and 9 representing an excellent condition.
