FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
EIME RD in Jefferson, Missouri sits above 7% of rated Missouri bridges on inventory load rating (13 t), while its 1900 build year is earlier than 93% of Jefferson's recorded-year cohort (411 bridges).
EIME RD in Jefferson, Missouri is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1900, 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.
