FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
CONNECTOR RAMP TO in Arlington, Virginia sits above 50% of rated Virginia bridges on inventory load rating (44 t), while its 1959 build year is earlier than 83% of Arlington's recorded-year cohort (183 bridges).
CONNECTOR RAMP TO in Arlington, Virginia is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1959, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 6.
