Highlights from FHWA’s 2013 National Bridge Inventory Data:  Of the 3,935 bridges in the state, 298 bridges, or 8% are classified as structurally deficient. This means one or more of the key bridge elements, such as the deck, superstructure or substructure, is considered to be in “poor” or worse condition.1  There are 356 bridges, or 9% of all state bridges, classified as functionally obsolete. This means the bridge does not meet design standards that are in line with current practice.  Federal-aid investment in New Mexico has supported $254.5 million in bridge construction spending on 400 bridges between 2003 and 2012, according to FHWA data.2  Since 2004, 210 new bridges have been constructed in the state and 97 bridges have undergone major reconstruction.  The state estimates that it would cost approximately $744.8 million to fix a total of 1,626 bridges in the state.3 Bridge Inventory: All Bridges Structurally deficient Bridges Type of Bridge Total Number Area (sq. meters) Daily Crossings Total Number Area (sq. meters) Daily Crossings Rural Bridges Interstate 600 236,700 8,383,532 21 7,391 184,724 Other principal arterial 588 171,092 3,215,753 16 14,979 97,212 Minor arterial 435 103,571 1,185,395 26 7,098 48,837 Major collector 460 172,111 654,251 52 16,193 61,428 Minor collector 379 120,102 256,791 55 18,420 27,301 Local 504 84,338 201,830 77 13,837 22,398 Urban Bridges Interstate 278 314,809 15,713,643 16 12,789 400,439 Other freeway 1 704 25,456 0 0 0 Principal arterial 296 292,117 5,965,260 13 9,392 142,792 Minor arterial 143 163,011 1,183,933 13 13,460 88,382 Collector 134 55,180 565,203 6 1,694 17,239 Local 117 22,891 200,657 3 365 4,218 Not classified 0 0 0 0 0 0 Total 3,935 1,736,625 37,551,704 298 115,619 1,094,970 1 According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), a bridge is classified as structurally deficient if the condition rating for the deck, superstructure, substructure or culvert and retaining walls is rated 4 or below or if the bridge receives an appraisal rating of 2 or less for structural condition or waterway adequacy. During inspections, the condition of a variety of bridge elements are rated on a scale of 0 (failed condition) to 9 (excellent condition). A rating of 4 is considered “poor” condition and the individual element displays signs of advanced section loss, deterioration, spalling or scour. 2 ARTBA analysis of FHWA data, includes all bridge construction related spending on projects approved by FHWA between 2003 and 2012. 3 This data is provided by bridge owners as part of the FHWA data and is required for any bridge eligible for the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program. However, for some states this amount is very low and likely not an accurate reflection of current costs. State Bridge Profile New Mexico

I-10 exit 135 Sources: All data is from the 2013 National Bridge Inventory, released by the Federal Highway Administration in March 2014. Note that specific conditions on bridge may have changed as a result of recent work. Cost estimates of bridge work provided as part of the data and have been adjusted to 2013$ for inflation and estimated project costs. Contract awards data is for state and local government awards and comes from McGraw Hill. Note that additional bridge investment may be a part of other contract awards if a smaller bridge project is included with a highway project, and that would not be accounted for in the total in this profile.
