NOTE -- Updated data was provided to IGS personnel as an ESRI point feature class named "DOTGIS_Bridge_INDOT_IN" on June 26, 2012 (and contains a total inventory of 5545 structures).
The term "System 1 Bridges" refers to bridges found on System 1 roads that include: Interstates, U.S. Highways, State Routes, Ramps, Institutional Roads (roads in state university properties, state hospitals, Indiana National Guard properties), and IDNR roads (roads in IDNR-owned properties maintained by INDOT).
BRIDGES_SYSTEM1_INDOT_IN is attributed with national bridge identification (NBI) numbers.

"Reliability score for County and City Bridges
Four sources were utilized in positioning county and city bridges.
* Bridge falls along calibrated route as per reference post measure value
* Supported by Ortho Photography
* Positional reference from Bridge Inspection (BI) database (Lat, Long)
* Junctioning feature reference from BI database (Over)
A reliability score value of 1 was assigned to each bridge for each of the four sources that confirm the location of the bridge. A higher score reflects a higher likelihood that the bridge point is positioned accurately."
