National Bridge Inventory data for some Allston/Brighton bridges

The terrible bridge collapse in Minneapolis is another reminder of the huge backlog in maintenance that exists for the infrastructure of our country. Here at home there are plenty of examples. The Federal Highway Administration does an annual survey of our nation's bridges called the National Bridge Inventory. The raw data is a bit unwieldy, but here is some information about bridges the cross the Charles from Allston and Brighton into Cambridge and Watertown.
