Oregon State University, Benton, Oregon
Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
SW 30TH ST in Benton, Oregon sits above 43% of rated Oregon bridges on inventory load rating (27 t), while its 1958 build year is earlier than 76% of Benton's recorded-year cohort (190 bridges).
SW 30TH ST in Benton, Oregon is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1958, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6. The lowest applicable rating sets the federal condition category, so this Fair 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.
