Bridge Snapshot: ODELL LK ACCESS RD
The ODELL LK ACCESS RD bridge in Klamath, Oregon carries ODELL LK ACCESS RD over TRAPPER CREEK. It was built in 1982, making it 44 years old today. It was last reconstructed in 2000, extending its service life. The structure is built primarily of wood or timber and spans 1 section, stretching 8.5 meters (28 feet) end to end. Daily traffic averages 130 vehicles, placing it in the lower-traffic tier of Oregon bridges. It is owned and maintained by U.S. Forest Service.
The latest FHWA inspection records show a deck rating of 7/9, superstructure at 7/9, substructure at 4/9. The weakest component sits in poor condition. At least one major component here scores 4 or below, which produces a Poor condition classification under FHWA's current reporting rules. Its NBI inventory load rating is 24.5 metric tons.

- • At 7/9, the deck (driving surface) is in good shape and shows no significant wear.
- • The superstructure (beams and supports above the deck) rates good at 7/9, with no significant deterioration on file.
- • The substructure (piers and abutments) is in poor condition (4/9), showing advanced deterioration that may require priority repair.
How to read this record
