Every 42 seconds a driver in the Washington region crosses over a bridge that is need of repair, according to a new report from the pro-infrastructure coalition Transportation for America. The group examined data from the federal government to determine that 5.7 percent of bridges in the Washington metropolitan area are “structurally deficient,” meaning that the bridges are “in need of more frequent monitoring and critical, near-term maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement,” according to the report released today.

The data were released just after the Maryland State Highway Administration announced that inspectors found hairline cracks in several brand-new bridges crossing the Intercounty Connector in Montgomery County.
