About one in five railroad bridges that pass over Minnesota roadways are structurally deficient, according to state and local inspections last year. Railroad bridges are in worse condition than road bridges, with just over 10 percent of the state’s highway bridges considered to be in poor condition. Of the more than 330 railroad bridges over roads, 71 were declared to be in poor condition, and 12 others were found to be in worse condition with serious problems.
