FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
OR 99W (HWY 001W) in Multnomah, Oregon sits above 18% of rated Oregon bridges on inventory load rating (19 t), while its 1910 build year is earlier than 97% of Multnomah's recorded-year cohort (473 bridges).
OR 99W (HWY 001W) in Multnomah, Oregon is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1910, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 5.

No NBI category is a closure decision or a live crossing-safety verdict.
