This dataset is related to the research paper entitled Bridge -specific flood risk assessment of transport networks using GIS and remotely sensed data published in the Science of the Total Environment. It provides the information neces-sary for the reproduction of the case study that was used for the demonstration and validation of the proposed risk assessment framework. The latter integrates indicators for the assessment of hydraulic hazards and bridge vulnerability with a simple and operationally flexible protocol for the in-terpretation of bridge damage consequences on the service-ability of the transport network and on the affected socio-economic environment. The dataset encompasses (i) inven-tory data for the 117 bridges of the Karditsa Prefecture, in Central Greece, which were affected by a historic flood that followed the Mediterranean Hurricane (Medicane) Ianos, in September 2020; (ii) results of the risk assessment analy-sis, including the geospatial distribution of hazard, vulnera-bility, bridge damage, and associated consequences for the area's transport network; (iii) an extensive damage inspec-tion record, compiled shortly after the Medicane, involving a sample of 16 (out of the 117) bridges of varying char-acteristics and damage levels, ranging from minimal dam-age to complete failure, which was used as a reference for validation of the proposed framework. The dataset is com-plemented by photos of the inspected bridges which facili-tate the understanding of the observed bridge damage pat-terns. This information is intended to provide insights into the response of riverine bridges to severe floods and a thor-ough base for comparison and validation of flood hazard and risk mapping tools, potentially useful for engineers, as-set managers, network operators and stakeholders involved in decision-making for climate adaptation of the road sector.(c) 2023 The Author(s).
