There are nearly 27,000 bridges across Illinois. And according to the Federal Highway Administration's 2015 data, 8 percent of them are considered "structurally deficient" and seven percent "functionally obsolete," meaning those Illinois bridges either have major parts in poor condition or are out-of-date. Our state ranks seventh for most structurally deficient bridges and 27th based on percentage of deficient bridges to overall inventory according to a recent analysis.
Using FHWA data, we've ranked the top 25 Illinois counties with the most deficient Illinois bridges.
