Bridge Snapshot: DOMINICK STREET
The DOMINICK STREET bridge in Oneida, New York carries DOMINICK STREET over WOOD CREEK. It was built in 1990, making it 36 years old today. The structure is built primarily of concrete and spans 1 section, stretching 10.4 meters (34 feet) end to end. Daily traffic averages 3,938 vehicles, placing it in the moderately-trafficked tier of New York bridges. It is owned and maintained by City/Municipal Highway Agency, the entity responsible for routine inspections and any needed repairs.
The latest FHWA inspection records show superstructure at 8/9, substructure at 8/9 on the 0–9 NBI scale, where 9 is excellent and 0 is failed. The weakest component sits in good condition, which drives the overall status of this bridge. No major component scores in the poor range, so the bridge is not classified as structurally deficient under federal criteria. Its NBI inventory load rating is 21.7 metric tons — the load level the structure is rated to carry at inventory (long-term) level.
In a county that maintains hundreds of NBI-tracked bridges, DOMINICK STREET is one data point in a New York inventory that FHWA inspects on a two-year cycle (more often when ratings fall). Bridge age alone is not a reliable safety signal — a 36-era structure can outperform a newer one when maintenance is consistent, materials are sound, and traffic loads stay within design limits. Use the condition ratings above, the inventory load rating, and the structurally-deficient flag together to read the bridge's real status, and check the linked county and state pages to see how this bridge ranks against its peers.
Every figure on this page comes directly from the Federal Highway Administration National Bridge Inventory (NBI), the public dataset that catalogs more than 575,000 highway bridges across the United States and is updated annually from the records that each state Department of Transportation submits to the FHWA. The condition codes use the standardized FHWA Recording and Coding Guide, the same scale that determines federal eligibility for the Highway Bridge Program and the Surface Transportation Block Grant set-aside for off-system bridges. A "structurally deficient" classification under those federal criteria is a maintenance and funding flag, never a closure order; states keep deficient bridges open with load posting, weight limits, or accelerated inspection cycles until rehabilitation or replacement is funded.

NBI inventory load rating (metric tons) and structural-deficiency status compared across New York, computed live from the FHWA NBI.
Sufficiency Rating
PlainBridge-computedComputed by PlainBridge from the published FHWA NBI items using the agency's historical sufficiency-rating formula (Recording & Coding Guide, Appendix B). The FHWA itself no longer publishes this composite — see how it is calculated.
Condition Ratings
Ratings are on a 0–9 scale: 9 = Excellent, 7–8 = Good, 5–6 = Fair, 3–4 = Poor, 0–2 = Critical/Failed. Sufficiency rating (0–100) combines structural adequacy, functional obsolescence, and essentiality.

Condition Analysis
Built in 1990, this bridge is 36 years old. It carries approximately 3,938 vehicles per day. Based on the most recent FHWA inspection:
- • The superstructure (beams and supports above the deck) is in good condition (8/9), showing no significant deterioration.
- • The substructure (piers and abutments) is in good condition (8/9), showing no significant deterioration.
Its NBI inventory load rating reflects the load level it is rated to carry.
How to read this record
This page shows what the last federal inspection recorded — not whether DOMINICK STREET is safe to cross today. Here is how to use it.
- NBI condition ratings reflect the most recent inspection, which can be up to 24 months old — treat them as a snapshot, not a live status.

Condition codes come straight from the FHWA National Bridge Inventory and are not a real-time safety judgment. Only the owning agency — a state DOT, county, or other owner — can post, restrict, or close a bridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the condition ratings mean for DOMINICK STREET?
Bridge condition ratings use a 0–9 scale set by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Ratings 7–9 indicate good condition with no significant problems. Ratings 5–6 mean fair condition with minor issues. Ratings 3–4 indicate poor condition requiring repair. Ratings 0–2 are critical, meaning the bridge has serious structural problems. DOMINICK STREET in Oneida, New York, superstructure rating of 8/9, and substructure rating of 8/9.
How often is DOMINICK STREET inspected?
Federal law requires most highway bridges to be inspected at least every 24 months. Bridges in poor condition or with known issues may be inspected more frequently (every 12 months or less). DOMINICK STREET is part of the National Bridge Inventory maintained by the FHWA. With 3,938 vehicles crossing daily, regular inspection is essential.
What does "structurally deficient" mean for a bridge?
A structurally deficient bridge has at least one major component (deck, superstructure, or substructure) rated 4 or below on the FHWA 0–9 scale. This classification does NOT mean the bridge is unsafe for travel — it means the bridge needs repair, rehabilitation, or eventual replacement. Structurally deficient bridges remain open and are monitored. DOMINICK STREET is not classified as structurally deficient.
What is the inventory load rating for DOMINICK STREET?
The NBI inventory rating is the load level a bridge is rated to carry for an indefinite period, recorded in metric tons. A lower number means the structure is more load-restricted. DOMINICK STREET has an inventory load rating of 21.7 metric tons. It is distinct from the FHWA sufficiency rating, a separate 0–100 funding-eligibility score that this dataset does not include.
Who is responsible for maintaining DOMINICK STREET?
Bridge ownership and maintenance responsibility varies — bridges may be owned by state DOTs, counties, cities, railroads, or federal agencies. DOMINICK STREET is maintained by City/Municipal Highway Agency. The FHWA oversees the National Bridge Inventory program and sets inspection standards, but day-to-day maintenance falls to the owning agency. If you notice damage or safety concerns, contact your state DOT or call 911 for emergencies.
How old is DOMINICK STREET and does age affect safety?
DOMINICK STREET was built in 1990, making it 36 years old. Bridge age alone does not determine safety — condition depends on materials, design, traffic load, maintenance history, and environmental exposure. Many older bridges remain in good condition due to regular maintenance and reconstruction.
Disclaimer: Bridge condition data is from the FHWA NBI and reflects the last reported inspection. A structurally deficient rating does not mean a bridge is closed or unsafe for travel — it indicates the bridge requires repair or replacement. For current closure or safety information, contact your state DOT.
