FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
STOKES ROAD in Nassau, Florida sits above 7% of rated Florida bridges on inventory load rating (22 t), while its 1978 build year is earlier than 44% of Nassau's recorded-year cohort (104 bridges).
STOKES ROAD in Nassau, Florida is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1978, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 4.
