TY - JOUR AU - Nice, David, C. AB - Abstract Many of the nation's rural highway bridges are structurally deficient, functionally inadequate, or both. Rural bridges are particularly likely to be in poor condition in states where the federal government plays a small role in the highway program, where local governments play a large role in highway financing, and where the chief state transportation agency is a highway department rather than a department of transportation. The assignment of responsibilities, then, appears to influence program performance.
