FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
LOCKWOOD LANE in Unknown County, Connecticut sits above 38% of rated Connecticut bridges on inventory load rating (35 t), while its 1958 build year is earlier than 60% of Unknown County's recorded-year cohort (861 bridges).
LOCKWOOD LANE in Unknown County, Connecticut is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1958, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6. The lowest applicable rating sets the federal condition category, so this Fair 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.
