Metadata Updated: August 11, 2025

The National Bridge Inventory dataset is as of June 20, 2025 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The data describes more than 624,000 of the Nation's bridges located on public roads, including Interstate Highways, U.S. highways, State and local roads, as well as publicly-accessible bridges on Federal and Tribal lands. The inventory data presented includes information on the location, description, classification, and general condition for each bridge. The Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation's Bridges (Coding Guide) contains a detailed description of each data element including coding instructions and attribute definitions. The Coding Guide is available at: https://doi.org/10.21949/1519105. For additional questions regarding regulations for the National Bridge Inventory or the Coding Guide please contact the National Bridge and Tunnel Inventory team at NBTIS_Support@dot.gov. For questions on the geospatial component of the dataset, contact the NTAD team at NTAD@dot.gov. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1519105
