The Structures Division maintains structure records for bridges and miscellaneous structures.
The Structures Division is responsible for assigning and tracking unique Structure numbers and managing initial in service bridge inspections. For your convenience, hyperlinks are provided inside the drop down menu connecting to the locations where the referenced resources can be found. The objective of a good bridge preservation program is to employ cost effective strategies and actions to maximize the useful life of bridges.
Applying the appropriate bridge preservation treatments at the appropriate time can extend bridge useful life at lower lifetime cost. See below for links and references to UDOT preservation guidance. The content below is not intended to be a complete single source resource for Consultants, but rather as an introduction to UDOT standards.
Digital Delivery with MBDC is not solely intended to eliminate plan sheets but rather deliver data in more directly consumable formats for project stakeholders.
