State Bridge Program STIP Development Process Oregon Department of Transportation October 3, 2007
State Bridge Program Goals Our investment decisions will be based on these goals: Improve state bridges by eliminating Freight Mobility Restrictions (Load, Width, or Vertical Clearance) Poor structural condition (Deterioration, Damage, Scour) Maximize investment by building bridges that Require less maintenance with longer life expectancy Meet standards and community expectations well into the future
State Bridge Program Goals To accomplish this, the State Bridge Program will: Concentrate STIP projects for state bridges on freight and NHS routes to address load capacity and safety issues. Give priority of remaining funding to achieve and 80% functional and structural condition on the NHS. Preserve high value structures, such as major river crossings and movable bridges.
