Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
EAST LAKE ROAD in Ontario, New York sits above 61% of rated New York bridges on inventory load rating (45 t), while its 1939 build year is earlier than 87% of Ontario's recorded-year cohort (178 bridges).
EAST LAKE ROAD in Ontario, New York is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1939, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 2. 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.
