T34S-R5W-S8, Josephine, Oregon
Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
CARRIE ST in Josephine, Oregon sits above 13% of rated Oregon bridges on inventory load rating (17 t), while its 1948 build year is earlier than 90% of Josephine's recorded-year cohort (226 bridges).
CARRIE ST in Josephine, Oregon 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 4. 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.
