The data describes more than 620,000 of the Nation's bridges located on public roads, including Interstate Highways, U.S. highways, State and county roads, as well as publicly-accessible bridges on Federal and Tribal lands. The element data present a breakdown of the condition of each structural and bridge management element for each bridge on the National Highway System (NHS). The Specification for the National Bridge Inventory Bridge Elements contains a detailed description of each data element including coding instructions and attribute definitions. The Coding Guide is available at: https://doi.org/10.21949/1519106. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1519106 The collection and use of element level bridge inspection data by the FHWA improves the performance management of the nation's highway bridges through enhanced national level analysis, forecasting, and reporting of bridge conditions and needs (preservation, improvement, and replacement) using risk-based, data driven methods.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. 23 CFR 650 Subpart C (National Bridge Inspection Standards) requires that States, federal agencies, and tribal governments maintain an inventory of all public highway bridges within their jurisdiction, and submit that data to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) annually or as requested. Element data collection and submittal are required for all bridges on the National Highway System (NHS), though the data is accepted for all bridges. Bridges that are not federally or tribally owned (i.e. local or privately owned bridges) are submitted by the State. Regulation requires data to be submitted March 15th of each year, though there may be updates throughout the year. The dataset is archived on December 31st and typically published in January. data is updated as deemed necessary National Bridge and Tunnel Inventory Team Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 202-366-5658 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE Washington DC 20590 United States NBTIS_Support@dot.gov party that accepts accountability and responsability for the data and ensures appropriate care and maintenance of the resource
