Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
FB6 in Hoke, North Carolina sits above 2% of rated North Carolina bridges on inventory load rating (12 t), while its 1970 build year is earlier than 43% of Hoke's recorded-year cohort (136 bridges).
FB6 in Hoke, North Carolina is rated Good in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1970, it carries 2 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 7. The lowest applicable rating sets the federal condition category, so this Good 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.

FHWA NBI Program ↗How to read this record
This page shows what the last federal inspection recorded, not whether FB6 is safe to cross today. Here is how to use it.
- NBI condition ratings reflect the latest record in this annual dataset, not a live status. Current routine inspection intervals are risk-based.
- Learn how the 0–9 condition scale and Good/Fair/Poor categories are defined. How condition ratings work
- Compare FB6 against other structures in Hoke and across North Carolina. North Carolina bridges
- Noticed visible damage or a safety concern? Report it to the agency that owns the bridge, or call 911 in an emergency. How to report a bridge
Condition codes come straight from the FHWA National Bridge Inventory and are not a real-time safety judgment. Only the owning agency, a state DOT, county, or other owner, can post, restrict, or close a bridge.
