The report details New Jersey's bridge inspection programme, bridge conditions and needs by owner and outlines current repair and replacement efforts. It also provides an analysis of the capital investment needed to ensure the continued safety of New Jersey's bridges. It covers NJDOT, New Jersey Transit, toll authorities, special agencies, local government and private bodies.

New Jersey will have to increase its bridge total funding to US$800 million annually - an increase of US$291 million over NJDOT's current spending level - says the report. This would enable it to address the existing backlog and limit other bridges from becoming structurally deficient.

Alternatively, the report advises the investment of US$659 million per year to achieve a substantial reducion in the existing backlog of structurally deficient bridges.
