FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
E0780 in Lincoln, Oklahoma sits above 4% of rated Oklahoma bridges on inventory load rating (10 t), while its 1948 build year is earlier than 73% of Lincoln's recorded-year cohort (450 bridges).
E0780 in Lincoln, Oklahoma is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1948, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 3.
