Bridge Snapshot: N3250

The N3250 bridge in Kay, Oklahoma carries N3250 over DUCK CREEK. It was built in 1939, making it 87 years old today. It was last reconstructed in 2006, extending its service life. The structure is built primarily of steel and spans 2 sections, stretching 21.6 meters (71 feet) end to end. Daily traffic averages 50 vehicles, placing it in the lower-traffic tier of Oklahoma bridges. It is owned and maintained by County Highway Agency.

The latest FHWA inspection records show a deck rating of 0/9, superstructure at 0/9, substructure at 0/9. The weakest component sits in critical condition. Because at least one major component scores 4 or lower, this bridge falls in FHWA's Poor condition category. That category is not a closure order.
