Bridge Snapshot: CANELO RD

The CANELO RD bridge in Cochise, Arizona carries CANELO RD over SLAUGHTERHOUSE WASH. It was built in 1930, making it 96 years old today. The structure is built primarily of concrete and spans 1 section, stretching 8.5 meters (28 feet) end to end. Daily traffic averages 1,000 vehicles, placing it in the lower-traffic tier of Arizona bridges. It is owned and maintained by NASA.

The latest FHWA inspection records show a deck rating of 4/9, superstructure at 5/9, substructure at 5/9. The weakest component sits in poor 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. Its NBI inventory load rating is 32.7 metric tons.

Condition Analysis

  • The deck (driving surface) rates poor at 4/9, advanced deterioration that should be prioritized for repair.
  • 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) rates fair at 5/9, minor deterioration that routine maintenance should address.

How to read this record

CANELO RD 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.
  • Understand what Poor condition does and does not mean before drawing conclusions. Poor condition explained
