FSR 214 in Garland, Arkansas sits above 46% of rated Arkansas bridges on inventory load rating (26 t), while its 2001 build year is earlier than 22% of Garland's recorded-year cohort (319 bridges).
FSR 214 in Garland, Arkansas is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 2001, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6.
