FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
JAVA LAKE RD in Wyoming, New York sits above 19% of rated New York bridges on inventory load rating (29 t), while its 1965 build year is earlier than 64% of Wyoming's recorded-year cohort (136 bridges).
JAVA LAKE RD in Wyoming, New York is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1965, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 2.
