Carrying SR 2005 over SINKING CREEK
SPRING MILLS, Centre, Pennsylvania
Inventory: FHWA NBI 2024 · last ETL August 2026
FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
SR 2005 in Centre, Pennsylvania is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory.
Built in 1960, 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.
