FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
CR 379 in Gadsden, Florida sits above 88% of rated Florida bridges on inventory load rating (52 t), while its 1995 build year is earlier than 27% of Gadsden's recorded-year cohort (121 bridges).
CR 379 in Gadsden, Florida is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1995, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 4.

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