Carrying UNNAMED ROAD over BIG MUDDY CREEK
PU 392 774, Scotland, North Carolina
Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
UNNAMED ROAD in Scotland, North Carolina sits above 82% of rated North Carolina bridges on inventory load rating (59 t), while its 2011 build year is earlier than 20% of Scotland's recorded-year cohort (101 bridges).
UNNAMED ROAD in Scotland, North Carolina is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 2011, 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.

This page shows what the last federal inspection recorded, not whether UNNAMED ROAD 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

- 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.
