Enhancements in Bridge Inspection and Asset Management for Safer Roads

On January 16, 2007, the Bridge Owners Forum in Cambridge focused on improving asset management to ensure safe roads, reliable journeys, and informed travelers. Key updates included new documents on recycled concrete aggregates, minor structure design, and inspection manuals. Participants discussed the importance of research proposals and guidelines for highway structures, traffic management, and sustainability. Emphasis was placed on maintaining serviceability, enhancing safety, and optimizing existing technology to better manage traffic and environmental impacts.
