Follow-up Investigation of Bridge Planning, Design and Construction

As a follow-up to the Board’s 2014 Special Investigation of Bridge Planning, Design and Construction, the Board examined 269 newly constructed bridges and 59 wood box culverts in 5 natural resource districts in the summer and fall of 2019.

While safety and protection of the environment improved over the 2014 results, there is still work to do to improve planning and professional assurance of structures.
