Bridges, Culvertsand Transportation Drainage

Projects identified by:• Structural Adequacy / Functionally Obsolete• Safety• Capacity / Congestion Upgrades• Transportation Drainage• Bridge Rehabilitation• Connectivity


Glossary of Terms• Structurally Deficient - In poor condition or have sub-standard

strength• Structurally Deficient does not mean bridges are unsafe or are

likely to collapse• Functionally Obsolete - Designed to older standards / do not

meet current standards


Glossary of Terms• Posted Loads – The Federal Bridge Gross Weight

Formula is a mathematical formula in use in the United States by truck drivers and Department of Transportation (DOT) officials to determine the appropriate maximum gross weight for a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) based on axle number and spacing. The formula is necessary to prevent heavy vehicles from damaging roads and bridges. CMVs are most often tractor-trailers or buses, but the formula is of most interest to truck drivers due to the heavy loads their vehicles often carry.
