Bridge Terminology:

Sufficiency rating: "A bridge sufficiency rating is a snapshot 0-100 measure (0 being worst, 100 best) of the ability of a bridge to perform its essential function both now and in the future."

Structurally deficient: "Either by original design, construction limitations or natural or man-induced deterioration (a bridge like this) has less or

more limited load-carrying capacity."

Functionally obsolete: "May have load-carrying capability but because of the design or geometric elements of the bridge results in a reduction of the of the bridge's usefulness."
