The collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday morning has renewed interest in bridge conditions and aging infrastructure across America and New Jersey.

While the collision from a massive cargo ship against the bridge's support beam is an unpredictable catastrophe, bridge experts say the structure's quick collapse is like a glimpse into a long-standing infrastructure problem.

Rick Geddes, an infrastructure policy expert and director of Cornell University’s infrastructure policy program told USA Today that "this disaster reveals how exposed America’s critical infrastructure is to sudden and devastating accidents as well as intentional destruction.”

Here’s a quick look at the condition of some of southern New Jersey’s bridges.

Cumberland County’s bridges

Roughly 45,000 bridges across the country were rated in poor condition by the Federal Highway Administration, according to a USA Today analysis of the previous year's National Bridge Inventory.

That national total of poor-rated bridges made up roughly 7% of all bridges in the nation, which was an improvement from the 11% of bridges rated poor in 2010.

Current data show that only about 6.48%, or about 442 bridges, in New Jersey would have a poor rating and about 1,286 of the state’s 6,820 bridges, or about 19%, are in need of some repair.

Cumberland County has the second fewest number of bridges in the state, at just 103 total. Cape May County has the fewest at 74 bridges.

While almost 7% of Cumberland County’s bridges are considered in poor condition by the FHA, which is slightly higher than New Jersey’s overall rating, that figure only accounts for 7 bridge spans.

Cumberland County also has the lowest percentage of bridges in need of some repair, 4.85%, a total of four bridges in the county.
