DENALI PARK ROAD in Yukon-Koyukuk, Alaska sits above 20% of rated Alaska bridges on inventory load rating (25 t), while its 1956 build year is earlier than 88% of Yukon-Koyukuk's recorded-year cohort (94 bridges).
DENALI PARK ROAD in Yukon-Koyukuk, Alaska is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1956, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6.
