FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
MILPITAS ROAD in Monterey, California sits above 89% of rated California bridges on inventory load rating (42 t), while its 2006 build year is earlier than 7% of Monterey's recorded-year cohort (377 bridges).
MILPITAS ROAD in Monterey, California is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 2006, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 3.
