Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
S SHILOH RD in Yellowstone, Montana sits above 27% of rated Montana bridges on inventory load rating (25 t), while its 1959 build year is earlier than 89% of Yellowstone's recorded-year cohort (290 bridges).
S SHILOH RD in Yellowstone, Montana is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1959, 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.
