FAS-806 in Lawrence, Illinois sits above 5% of rated Illinois bridges on inventory load rating (19 t), while its 1922 build year is earlier than 92% of Lawrence's recorded-year cohort (185 bridges).
FAS-806 in Lawrence, Illinois is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1922, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 3.
