Fair
12 t Inventory load rating Lower than 94% of rated Missouri bridges

RT DD E in Mississippi, Missouri 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 5.

No NBI category is a closure decision or a live crossing-safety verdict.
