Bridge Preservation Organization
Inspection is centralized
from three offices.
Inspectors are licensed Civil
Engineers.
Inspectors have design,
construction and inspection
experience.
Projects are managed from
12 districts.
Bridge maintenance crews
operate out of all 12 districts
4
Identification of Bridge Needs
Regular bridge inspections identify bridge specific
deterioration based needs.
Structural analysis identifies vulnerabilities to seismic
events.
Hydraulic and structural analysis identify bridges with
vulnerabilities to scour.
Changing bridge safety standards identify bridges with
deficient bridge rails.
Raising and strengthening needs are identified through
evaluation of goods movement and system constraints.

Prioritizing Capital Needs
Needs consist of condition, vulnerability and safety
needs.
Project level decisions are based on Peer Reviews
Consensus recommendation by multi-discipline team.
Life cycle cost analysis considered.
Constructability and traffic handling evaluated.
Projects prioritized using multi-objective utility
functions
Allows condition, vulnerabilities and safety to be
considered in a benefit cost framework.
