About This Bridge
ROADWAY TO TERMINA carries traffic over TERMINAL C ARRIVALS NORT in Queens County, New York. Built in 2020, this structure is 6 years old, representing modern engineering and construction standards. The bridge features steel construction with a stringer/multi-beam or girder design, a combination chosen by engineers to meet the specific requirements of this crossing.
Traffic data is recorded to help engineers understand usage patterns.
The bridge is currently rated in good condition based on federal inspection criteria established by the Federal Highway Administration. The structure meets current safety standards for its designated use and load capacity. With a total length of 115 feet, this structure falls within the typical range requiring standard inspection procedures conducted by certified bridge inspectors.
Steel bridges provide high strength-to-weight ratios, making them suitable for longer spans. However, they require ongoing protection against corrosion through painting or weathering steel designs. Inspectors pay close attention to connection points, fatigue cracking, and coating condition.
Federal law requires that all highway bridges be inspected at least every 24 months by qualified inspectors following the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). Some bridges with known issues or unusual characteristics may be inspected more frequently. Inspection data is reported to the National Bridge Inventory, a database maintained by the Federal Highway Administration that tracks the condition of all public highway bridges in the United States. This bridge data is sourced from that federal database and reflects the most recent available inspection results.

Lowest Rating
Determines condition category
NBI condition ratings range from 0 (failed) to 9 (excellent). Ratings of 4 or below are considered poor. The overall condition category is determined by the lowest individual component rating.
With a lowest rating of 9, this bridge demonstrates excellent condition with no problems noted.
For a structure built in 2020, maintaining good condition demonstrates effective maintenance practices.
Bridge Details
Steel is the primary structural material, which influences maintenance requirements and expected lifespan. The stringer/multi-beam or girder design was selected based on span requirements, load capacity needs, and site conditions at the time of construction. Maintenance responsibility falls to Local Toll Authority.

Load Ratings
Load ratings determine what weight this bridge can safely support. These values are critical for routing heavy vehicles and issuing overweight permits.
Operating Rating
8.4 tons
Maximum allowable load for special permits
Inventory Rating
4.1 tons
Load level for normal traffic
The operating rating of 8.4 tons represents the absolute maximum load this bridge can carry under controlled conditions with special permits. The inventory rating of 4.1 tons is the safe load limit for everyday traffic without restrictions. These relatively low ratings may result in posted weight limits or route restrictions for heavy vehicles.

Bridge inspection data is typically updated every 24 months. Conditions may have changed since the last inspection.
“Structurally deficient” does not mean a bridge is unsafe or likely to collapse. It indicates that one or more key structural elements are in poor or worse condition. Bridges are inspected regularly and may have load restrictions in place.
