Scour-Critical Bridges in Missouri
Missouri has 315 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.
