Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
RT UU E in Carroll, Missouri sits above 6% of rated Missouri bridges on inventory load rating (11 t), while its 1961 build year is earlier than 60% of Carroll's recorded-year cohort (371 bridges).
RT UU E in Carroll, Missouri is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1961, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6. 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.
