FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
CR16 in Tishomingo, Mississippi sits above 31% of rated Mississippi bridges on inventory load rating (29 t), while its 1983 build year is earlier than 53% of Tishomingo's recorded-year cohort (144 bridges).
CR16 in Tishomingo, Mississippi is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1983, 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.
