What this tracks
This dataset records the location, structural details, and inspection history of bridges and bridge-sized structures across Nebraska.
Why it matters to you
If you’re planning a trucking route through Nebraska, this data tells you whether a bridge can handle your vehicle’s weight by checking its Posting (weight limit) and DeckWidth. Residents can see when their local bridge was last inspected (DateInspected) and what creek or road it crosses (FeatureIntersected), helping anticipate maintenance delays. Farmers can verify detour lengths (Detour_Length) if a rural bridge closes during harvest season.
How to read this data
Location — The street address or route where the bridge is located (e.g., “1695 S. PRIMROSE AVE”).
YearBuilt — Construction year (e.g., 1935), indicating aging infrastructure.
StructureType — Building material (e.g., “Concrete Slab”), hinting at durability.
ADT — Average daily traffic (e.g., 20 vehicles), showing how heavily a bridge is used.
