FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.

Fair
31 t Inventory load rating Lower than 69% of rated Wyoming bridges

I-80 EBL in Laramie, Wyoming sits above 31% of rated Wyoming bridges on inventory load rating (31 t), while its 1965 build year is earlier than 59% of Laramie's recorded-year cohort (254 bridges).

I-80 EBL in Laramie, Wyoming is rated Fair in the FHWA's 2024 National Bridge Inventory. Built in 1965, it carries 1 rated component 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.

  • NBI condition ratings reflect the latest record in this annual dataset, not a live status. Current routine inspection intervals are risk-based.
  • Learn how the 0–9 condition scale and Good/Fair/Poor categories are defined. How condition ratings work
  • Compare I-80 EBL against other structures in Laramie and across Wyoming. Wyoming bridges
  • Noticed visible damage or a safety concern? Report it to the agency that owns the bridge, or call 911 in an emergency. How to report a bridge

Condition codes come straight from the FHWA National Bridge Inventory and are not a real-time safety judgment. Only the owning agency, a state DOT, county, or other owner, can post, restrict, or close a bridge.
