About FHWA Nearby Bridges

Search official National Bridge Inventory records around a property or development site before planning heavy-haul, construction, or emergency access. Results can be exported and retain the source layer. NBI is planning context—not route-clearance, posting, load, permitting, engineering, or inspection authority. Verify the current route with bridge owners and roadway agencies.
