FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
CON 3038 in Hennepin, Minnesota sits above 73% of rated Minnesota bridges on inventory load rating (40 t), while its 1989 build year is earlier than 43% of Hennepin's recorded-year cohort (936 bridges).
CON 3038 in Hennepin, Minnesota is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1989, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 4. The lowest applicable rating sets the federal condition category, so this Poor 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.
