Bridge Snapshot: RANGE ROAD
The RANGE ROAD bridge in Cumberland, North Carolina carries RANGE ROAD over TEXAS POND. It was built in 1970, making it 56 years old today. It was last reconstructed in 1990, extending its service life. The structure is built primarily of wood or timber and spans 3 sections, stretching 9.1 meters (30 feet) end to end. Daily traffic averages 1 vehicles, placing it in the lower-traffic tier of North Carolina bridges. It is owned and maintained by NASA.
The latest FHWA inspection records show a deck rating of 2/9, superstructure at 5/9, substructure at 4/9. The weakest component sits in critical condition. Because at least one major component scores 4 or lower, this bridge falls in FHWA's Poor condition category. That category is not a closure order.

FHWA NBI Program ↗Condition Analysis
- • At 2/9, the deck (driving surface) is in critical shape, with severe wear requiring urgent action.
- • The superstructure (beams and supports above the deck) rates fair at 5/9, minor deterioration that routine maintenance should address.
- • The substructure (piers and abutments) is in poor condition (4/9), showing advanced deterioration that may require priority repair.
How to read this record
RANGE ROAD is in the federal Poor condition category. That is a component-based result, not a closure order.
- NBI condition ratings reflect the latest record in this annual dataset, not a live status. Current routine inspection intervals are risk-based.
