FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
I-64 EBL in Posey, Indiana sits above 16% of rated Indiana bridges on inventory load rating (26 t), while its 1966 build year is earlier than 82% of Posey's recorded-year cohort (208 bridges).
I-64 EBL in Posey, Indiana is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1966, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6.
