The worst bridge in Florida?

By the measure that matters most - the most traffic on a poor rating - it is I-195 (SR-112) over SR-5 & Fec R/R in Miami-Dade County, built 1961, carrying about 151,500 vehicles a day. That is a repair-priority flag, not a collapse warning: what a poor rating does and does not mean. See the worst bridge in every state.

Frequently asked questions

How many bridges in Florida are in poor condition?

360 of Florida's 13,070 inventoried highway bridges are rated in poor condition (2.8%) in the 2025 National Bridge Inventory. 'Poor' is FHWA's classification for a bridge whose deck, superstructure, or substructure is rated 4 or lower on the 0-9 scale; it was formerly called 'structurally deficient'.

Are the poor-rated bridges in Florida safe to drive on?

A poor rating flags advanced deterioration that needs repair or close monitoring; it does not by itself mean a bridge is unsafe. Bridges judged unsafe are closed or restricted to lighter loads by the owner. Inspections continue on all open bridges, generally at least every 24 months under the National Bridge Inspection Standards.
