The National Bridge Inventory (NBI) Database as maintained by the Federal Highway Administration contains detailed information on approximately 600,000 public highway bridges spanning a period of two decades. While the NBI Database constitutes the most comprehensive source of publicly available information on the condition of the nation’s bridge infrastructure, the data is provided in the form of encoded alpha-numeric text files, and many users lack the means to process and decode this information. This paper describes an ongoing collaborative effort between the New Mexico Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the private sector to develop a low cost, user friendly bridge information system that provides a simplified means to access detailed information in the NBI Database.

This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AHD30 Structures Maintenance.
