The verdict
According to the Federal Highway Administration's 2024 National Bridge Inventory.
Haskell County pairs a higher-than-median Poor-condition share among rated counties in the state with an older average build year than the state inventory.

Poor is an FHWA condition category from the lowest applicable component rating (4 or below), not a live crossing-safety or closure decision. Rankings cover counties with at least five public highway bridges.
Haskell County Bridge Snapshot
According to the Federal Highway Administration's 2024 National Bridge Inventory, Haskell County ranks #148 of 247 Texas counties with at least 5 public highway bridges on Poor-condition share (lower share ranks better; currently 1.3%). Haskell County, Texas contains 80 public highway bridges. Roughly 46.3% are rated “Good,” 52.5% “Fair,” and 1.3% “Poor.” Poor means the lowest applicable deck, superstructure, substructure, or culvert rating is 4 or below on the 0–9 NBI scale. It is a condition category, not a live safety or closure decision.
Responsible agencies inspect covered bridges on risk-based intervals under current NBIS rules and submit inventory data to FHWA annually. The list below shows every NBI-tracked bridge in the county. Use the “Sort by” controls to change the ordering, and click any row for its reported inspection date, traffic count, and condition fields.

Haskell County's Poor-condition bridges carry 22 vehicle crossings a day
That is 0% of the county's reported daily bridge traffic on 1.3% of its bridges: Poor-condition structures carry less traffic than their share of the inventory. Each Poor bridge averages 22 crossings a day against 1,471 for a Good-condition one. A Poor rating is a condition category, not a closure or a live safety judgement; it means the lowest applicable component rating is 4 or below.

70% of Haskell County's bridges have passed the 50-year mark
56 of the 80 bridges with a recorded construction year were built in 1974 or earlier. Age alone is not a defect: a well-maintained older bridge can rate Good, and 46.3% of this county's inventory does. Even so, this older cohort is the population from which future Poor ratings are drawn, which is why the age profile below matters alongside the condition split above.
Cutoff derives from the 2024 release year minus a 50-year design life. Source: FHWA National Bridge Inventory, 2024 release.
One structure carries 100% of the county's Poor-condition bridge traffic
CO RD 438 over WILLOW CREEK, built 1940, carries 22 vehicles a day, the most of any Poor-rated structure here. The county's Poor-condition exposure is concentrated rather than evenly spread, so the 1-bridge count understates how much of the daily burden sits on a single crossing.

What this shows Construction peaked in the 1930s, when 31 of the county's bridges still in the inventory were built, which is 38.8% of those with a recorded year. That cohort is now 85 to 94 years old in the 2024 inventory. Its average build year is 1958, 22 years older than the Texas average of 1980.
