Scour-Critical Bridges in Mississippi

Mississippi has 297 bridges rated scour-critical by the Federal Highway Administration. These bridges have foundations that are unstable or at risk of undermining during flood events. Scour-critical doesn't mean a bridge is about to collapse — it means extra monitoring and countermeasures are in place — but these structures are priorities for repair or replacement.

How this ranking works

This state list filters to NBI scour ratings 0 through 3, then sorts by average daily traffic. It is intended to show flood-vulnerability exposure, not to label any bridge as currently unsafe.
