BRIDGE INSPECTIONS

Department of Roads has a stock of more than 1,700 bridges. The bridge stock is increasing annually. DoR is committed to providing safe and serviceable bridges for general traffic. In order to fulfil the commitment, DoR has recently established a Bridge Management System (BMS). Bridge inspection is the part of bridge management. The information provided by the bridge inspection record helps to establish maintenance needs, and the required interventions systematically through the BMS. The following steps are required to prepare a bridge inspection report.test
