FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
FAP 10 in Wilson, Tennessee sits above 24% of rated Tennessee bridges on inventory load rating (25 t), while its 1955 build year is earlier than 73% of Wilson's recorded-year cohort (402 bridges).
FAP 10 in Wilson, Tennessee is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1955, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 4.

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