FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
MANY GLACIER ROAD in Glacier, Montana sits above 18% of rated Montana bridges on inventory load rating (22 t), while its 1931 build year is earlier than 97% of Glacier's recorded-year cohort (71 bridges).
MANY GLACIER ROAD in Glacier, Montana is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1931, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 5. 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.
