FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
HWY MINER ST in Suffolk, Massachusetts sits above 5% of rated Massachusetts bridges on inventory load rating (19 t), while its 1906 build year is earlier than 91% of Suffolk's recorded-year cohort (488 bridges).
HWY MINER ST in Suffolk, Massachusetts is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1906, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 5. The lowest applicable rating sets the federal condition category, so this Fair result describes the weakest reported component rather than the structure as a whole. No NBI category is a closure decision or a live crossing-safety verdict.
