The bridges of Wells County

Ben and Phil Beer of Indianapolis-based USI Consultants Inc., an engineering and land surveying firm, recently finished an inspection on the 139 bridges in the county. The law requires the county to inspect the bridges every two years.

Along with this recent inspection, the federal government has a database of all bridges in the nation. To see the condition of bridges in Wells County, according to the federal government, click here.

Before you click:
  • You will be asked for Wells' FIPS code. Though the site provides a link to find the code, it is 179.
  • Also make sure to read through the definitions to get a better understanding of bridges' conditions. To see the definitions, click here.
