FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
2160000 in Prince of Wales-Hyder, Alaska sits above 8% of rated Alaska bridges on inventory load rating (20 t), while its 1990 build year is earlier than 45% of Prince of Wales-Hyder's recorded-year cohort (234 bridges).
2160000 in Prince of Wales-Hyder, Alaska is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1990, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 4. The lowest applicable rating sets the federal condition category, so this Poor result describes the weakest reported component rather than the structure as a whole. No NBI category is a closure decision or a live crossing-safety verdict.
