FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.

Fair
34 t Inventory load rating Lower than 66% of rated North Carolina bridges

SR1335 in Caldwell, North Carolina sits above 34% of rated North Carolina bridges on inventory load rating (34 t), while its 1985 build year is earlier than 51% of Caldwell's recorded-year cohort (201 bridges).

SR1335 in Caldwell, North Carolina is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1985, 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.
