Is 95I 95I04011007 Safe?
95I 95I04011007 in New Jersey has a Condition Score of 39/100 (Grade D). The deck is rated 5/9, superstructure 6/9, and substructure 5/9. The bridge is not currently classified as structurally deficient. Built in 1931 (95 years old), it carries approximately 306K vehicles per day.
95I 95I04011007 carries a D on the BridgeSafety Condition Score with 39/100. One or more primary components is rated in fair-to-poor condition; the bridge typically appears in state transportation plans for rehabilitation or replacement within the next funding cycle.
The bridge was built in 1931, making it 95 years old — well beyond the typical 50-year design life of bridges constructed in that era. Bridges of this vintage usually need substantial rehabilitation or replacement once their original components have aged out, regardless of current condition ratings. 95I 95I04011007 carries an average daily traffic count of 306,177 vehicles, with 8 lane(s) crossing 9a 9a04021108/Hudson Rvr. The owning agency is Local Toll Authority; bridge inspection records flow into the federal NBI database annually.
BridgeSafety reads the FHWA National Bridge Inventory (NBI) — the authoritative federal dataset covering every public road bridge longer than 20 feet in the United States. Each bridge record includes age, structural condition by component, traffic load, and the formal sufficiency rating that determines federal funding eligibility.
The Structurally Deficient designation flags bridges where at least one primary component (deck, superstructure, substructure) is rated in poor condition on the FHWA 0-9 scale. FHWA explicitly notes that bridges with this designation remain open and safe when they meet load-rating requirements; the designation signals rehabilitation need, not closure.
What the Condition Score Means
A Condition Score of 39/100 places 95I 95I04011007 at a D grade. At least one primary component rates 4 ("Poor") on the NBI 0-9 scale, which makes the bridge eligible for federal replacement and rehabilitation funding under FHWA bridge programs. Posted load limits, weight restrictions, or work zone postings may apply, set by the owning state DOT — not by the inventory rating itself. The federal "structurally deficient" classification is triggered at this rating.
95I 95I04011007 is not currently classified as structurally deficient. All three primary components — deck, superstructure, and substructure — rate above 4 on the FHWA NBI 0-9 scale, the threshold for the federal "structurally deficient" label. The bridge remains in the routine inspection cycle (typically every 24 months) without triggering federal rehabilitation funding eligibility.
Component Ratings
| Component | Rating | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Deck | 5 | /9 |
| Superstructure | 6 | /9 |
| Substructure | 5 | /9 |
| Overall Score | 39/100 | Grade D |
FHWA scale: 9 Excellent, 7 Good, 5 Fair, 4 Poor, lower readings indicate progressively worse condition. Component ratings reflect the most recent inspection submitted to the National Bridge Inventory.
Age and Traffic Context
95I 95I04011007 was built in 1931, 95 years ago — well beyond a typical original 50-year design life. Many U.S. bridges of this vintage have been rehabilitated multiple times (deck replacements, superstructure work) and remain in active service. Long age does not indicate poor current condition; the inspection ratings on this page are the relevant signal.
95I 95I04011007 carries roughly 306K vehicles per day, a heavy traffic volume that places it among the higher-priority structures in the inventory for maintenance allocation. Heavy daily traffic accelerates deck wear, joint deterioration, and accumulated fatigue on superstructure elements, which is why busy interstate and arterial bridges often appear on rehabilitation priority lists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 95I 95I04011007 safe to cross?
95I 95I04011007 remains open to traffic at posted load limits set by the owning state DOT. Its current Condition Score is 39/100 (Grade D). NBI condition ratings describe observed physical condition; they are not closure or safety determinations. State DOTs and the FHWA bridge program are the authoritative sources for any operational restriction on a specific structure. The bridge does not meet the federal definition of "structurally deficient."
What do the deck, superstructure, and substructure ratings mean?
On the FHWA NBI 0-9 scale: 9 is Excellent, 7 Good, 5 Fair, 4 Poor, and 0 means the component has failed. 95I 95I04011007 rates deck 5/9, superstructure 6/9, and substructure 5/9. The deck is the riding surface; the superstructure carries loads from deck to bearings (girders, beams, trusses); the substructure transfers loads to foundations (piers, abutments). A rating of 4 or lower on any of the three triggers the "structurally deficient" classification.
When was 95I 95I04011007 last inspected?
Federal regulation requires inspection at least every 24 months by a certified team leader. Inspection records flow from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to the FHWA NBI; the dataset on this page reflects the 2025 federal NBI release, refreshed April 2026. For the most recent inspection report or any operational status (postings, lane closures), the New Jersey DOT is the authoritative source.
Is 95I 95I04011007 structurally deficient?
No — 95I 95I04011007 does not currently meet the FHWA "structurally deficient" definition. All three primary components rate above 4 on the NBI 0-9 scale.
Where can I see official inspection records for 95I 95I04011007?
The Federal Highway Administration publishes the underlying inspection data through the National Bridge Inventory (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/nbi.cfm). The New Jersey DOT publishes additional state-level reporting and operational notices. The ASCE Infrastructure Report Card provides national-level analysis that draws on the same NBI data.
