C3008 in Windham, Vermont sits above 14% of rated Vermont bridges on inventory load rating (20 t), while its 1939 build year is earlier than 62% of Windham's recorded-year cohort (337 bridges).
C3008 in Windham, Vermont is rated Poor in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1939, it carries 3 rated components on the inspecting agency's 0-9 scale, and its weakest reported component scores 4.
