The District Department of Transportation will need to repair 215 D.C. area bridges in that were pronounced structurally deficient in a report by Transportation for America.

The classification singles out bridges in need of substantial repairs or replacement.

In the report, which was released Wednesday, over 69,223 bridges were listed as structurally deficient. An average of 3,611,401 drivers travel the bridges classified as deficient every day, according to the report.

John Lisle, public information officer for DDOT, said that many of the D.C. bridges listed in the report underwent rehabilitation soon after the Federal Highway Administration released a similar report in 2009. Plans for repairs on the remainder of the bridges are in the works.

The Key Bridge, stretching from Georgetown to Rosslyn, Va., will undergo repairs in the next two to four years, according to Lisle. In the meantime, contractors will inspect the bridge every six months.

“It’s listed as structurally deficient but there’s nothing that needs to be done right now,” Lisle said. “Just because they’re listed as structurally deficient does not mean that they are a danger to the public or not safe; that is not the case. … It means they are due for repair work.”

Other bridges in the area have already undergone repairs. According to Lisle, the Kenilworth Avenue Bridge, the Eastern Avenue Bridge and the Ninth Street Northwest Bridge are now completely reconstructed. He added that pier strengthening and deck remodeling is almost completed on the 14th Street Bridge.

Both local government and the federal government contribute to the costs of the repairs through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Despite the worries about the District’s infrastructure, Lisle assured residents and commuters of the bridges’ safety and ensured quick responses to faulty structures.

“We inspect them on a regular basis, and our bridges are safe.” he said.
