26 of the 248 highway bridges in Henderson County, North Carolina are rated in poor condition in the Federal Highway Administration's 2025 inventory: 10.5%, against 7.1% across North Carolina and 6.6% nationally. Vehicles cross them about 92,200 times a day.

In the 2020 inventory the count was 17.

The busiest is listed as "Us64" over "French Broad Rvr.Overflo" (built 1955), carrying about 14,000 vehicles a day.

"Poor" is the federal condition rating, not a finding that a bridge is unsafe. The timing: the federal highway programs that pay for bridge repair are authorised only until December 11.
