As part of a study to develop a bridge management system for the Indiana Department of Highways, a questionnaire survey was conducted to review the current practices of bridge management at the state level. It was found that most of the states have well-defined programs or procedures to set priorities on bridge rehabilitation or replacement programs. Study on bridge maintenance has just begun and only a few states, such as Pennsylvania, have established procedures to program bridge maintenance projects. The survey results were instructive in helping to understand how state highway agencies accomplish the allocation of funds to bridge projects. Many state agencies responded that they were not satisfied with their current bridge management procedures and expressed a need for a comprehensive bridge management system. Such a system might include steps that would estimate present and future needs, set priorities on projects, and determine optimal sets of bridge projects to use the limited funds effectively. The questionnaire survey revealed that the procedures currently used are mostly aimed at short-term programs.
