BRIDGE DIVISION
The City Bridge Division inspects and maintains 56 bridges, which includes 38 vehicular and 18 pedestrian. The records of the inspections, maintenance activities, load limits and any design plans are filed in the Bridge Office at N1433 Normandie.
An additional 63 bridges are inspected and reports provided to the owners, these include the downtown skywalks and the railroad bridges.
The City’s bridge inventory is maintained as prescribed by the US Dept of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) website: www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/index.htm. The FHWA establishes the standards for bridge inspection and maintains a database, called the National Bridge Inventory (NBI), of all the bridges in the Country. All bridges are inspected on a regular schedule, typically once every two years and the information is forwarded on to the FHWA who maintains it.
