*Year of the National Bridge Inventory data set used is the December 2016 archive, see http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/deficient.cfm
- Square Meters is Converted to Square Feet by multiplying by 10.764
**Costs used for estimates is determined by averaging the current and the previous 2 years of submitted Replacement Unit Costs of SD NHS Bridges.
- When cost data is not submitted for a particular year in the 3 year period, an average of the costs submitted is used.
- When no cost data is submitted for the entire 3 year period, the National Average of the Costs Collected for the current year is used.
- Blank means no cost data was submitted for the particular year.
- Bridge construction costs may vary year to year. To minimize this variation, an average unit cost is used as it is a good measure of central tendency.
  - The use of average unit costs has historically been done for calculating the Highway Bridge Program apportionments.
- National Average of the costs collected to replace SD NHS bridges is $211/f2
  - National Average = Average of all the costs in column 2016 Costs Collected in 2017.
- FHWA initiated the collection of Replacement Unit Costs of SD NHS and non-NHS Bridges in 2012 as is required under MAP-21.
