FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
HARROLD RD in San Joaquin, California sits above 36% of rated California bridges on inventory load rating (32 t), while its 1962 build year is earlier than 72% of San Joaquin's recorded-year cohort (644 bridges).
HARROLD RD in San Joaquin, California is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1962, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 5.

No NBI category is a closure decision or a live crossing-safety verdict.
