Why this is tracked
New York City's transportation network includes about 800 bridges and tunnels, along with thousands of miles of streets, that require ongoing preventive maintenance - drain cleaning, debris removal, masonry repair, and snow response - to stay safe and usable. A 2024 assessment found 118 bridge sections, representing nearly a fifth of all bridge roadway citywide, in poor condition, reflecting decades of aging infrastructure, much of it originally built in the early-to-mid 20th century. The City's ten-year capital strategy includes over $16 billion for bridge repair, replacement, and rehabilitation to address this backlog.
