FHWA NBI record, refreshed with each annual release.
WYO 213 in Laramie, Wyoming sits above 18% of rated Wyoming bridges on inventory load rating (27 t), while its 1955 build year is earlier than 91% of Laramie's recorded-year cohort (254 bridges).
WYO 213 in Laramie, Wyoming is rated Fair 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 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.
