Why is the Annual Percent of State Bridges in Poor Condition as a Percent of Total Bridge Deck Area Important?

X

Bridges are a critical component of the transportation network. They are also among the state's most expensive assets to replace. A small percentage of bridge deck area in poor condition suggests that maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation strategies have effectively extended bridge life and limited the need for near-term reconstructions.

WHAT WE ARE DOING

MnDOT reports progress against targets for the percent of bridges in poor condition, and good condition. Bridges in good condition generally receive routine maintenance, while bridges in poor condition are monitored more closely and eventually scheduled for major repair, rehabilitation, or replacement.

A high share of bridges in good condition indicates that MnDOT is effectively managing to limit the need for more expensive and disruptive investments. The good measure is driven more by proactive maintenance and repair than by reconstructions or replacements. Major projects that bring a bridge from poor to good condition are reflected in all of the condition measures.
