I 80E
Carrying I 80E over DUNPHY EXIT 254
EAST OF BATTLE MTN, Eureka, Nevada
Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
I 80E in Eureka, Nevada sits above 14% of rated Nevada bridges on inventory load rating (27 t), while its 1962 build year is earlier than 64% of Eureka's recorded-year cohort (25 bridges).
I 80E in Eureka, Nevada is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1962, 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.

How I 80E compares
Age against the county: built in 1962, earlier than 16 of Eureka's 25 bridges with a recorded construction year (64%), against a county median build year of 1964. Age is not a defect on its own, but it is the population from which future Poor ratings are drawn.
