Abstract

The report gives an overview on the experience of the Latvian Road Administration experience in bridge administration and management in Latvia, their historical development, current situation and development possibilities. The Latvian Road Administration is responsible for 929 bridges in state road network and for 740 large dimension (l =2 m) culverts. Additionally the Latvian Road Administration monitors approximately 1500 bridges and large culverts of municipalities. The major part of bridges is in bad technical condition and their lifetime is close to the end. In the same time the traffic loading and the amount of freight transport grows rapidly. Fully understanding and analysing the present situation and its development in future the Latvian Road Administration has established a computerized Bridge Management System.
