Fire Island Inlet Bridge, which a viral video showed had a gaping hole and was temporarily closed last summer after a fishing boat captain reported a falling chunk of concrete, passed two inspections over the past two years without receiving a "poor" rating, according to state and federal records.

A month before the span had to be shut down for emergency repairs, an inspection had rated it "not poor" — scoring at least 5 out of 9, according to a state database. Thirteen months before that, another inspection had rated the deck 6 out of 9, or "satisfactory," according to a more detailed federal database.
