BRIDGE MANAGEMENT AT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL

The need for rural bridge management is a growing concern for local transportation officials. This study examined existing methods of bridge management with regard to applying such a method to a rural Wyoming environment using a microcomputer application. A computer program to utilize the existing database and prioritize recommended maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement by a deficiency point system was developed. The report is organized in the following chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) Review of Existing Literature; (3) Software Design and Prioritization Modeling; (4) Methods of Bridge Management; and (5) Summary and Conclusions.
