Common Bridge Types
View all bridgesLong beams placed parallel to traffic that directly support the bridge deck
Channels water through pipes or box structures beneath roads
A solid, flat concrete structure that serves as both the supporting structure and roadway surface
Hollow rectangular beams placed side by side to support the bridge deck
T-shaped beams that provide efficient load distribution with reduced material
C-shaped beams that combine strength with relatively light weight

About the Data
This website uses data from the National Bridge Inventory (NBI), which is maintained by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The NBI contains information on all bridges and tunnels in the United States that carry vehicular traffic.
The data includes details such as location, design, dimensions, condition ratings, and more for over 600,000 bridges across the country.
Bridge Materials
Modern bridges are primarily constructed using concrete and steel, often in combination. Concrete provides excellent compression strength, while steel offers superior tensile strength and flexibility.
Historically, bridges were built using stone, timber, and cast iron. Today, innovative materials like fiber-reinforced polymers and high-performance concrete are increasingly used to improve durability and reduce maintenance costs.
