Story Behind the Curve
The consistent percent of bridges in poor condition indicate that VTrans remains capable of repairing bridges as quickly as they degrade into poor quality. While this number is holding level it is a good sign that they are not moving to poor condition faster than we are replacing them.
Benchmarks
We are tracking this against the Percentages in the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP).
Notes on Methodology
Annual inventory and inspections by VTrans of bridges with spans > 20 ft on state and town highways, and short structures with spans between 6 and 20 ft on the state highway system. Data is prepared for submission to FHWA.
