Inspection Procedures

Every bridge in North Carolina is inspected at least every two years in accordance with the National Federal Standard for Bridge Inspection.
Structural problems identified during inspections are addressed by NCDOT bridge maintenance crews or through contract repairs.
NCDOT allocates $12 million annually for bridge inspections.

Maintenance & Replacement

NCDOT's budget includes $65 million annually for bridge maintenance.
The department's 2009-2015 State Transportation Improvement Program includes $1 billion to replace 838 bridges across the state.
To be eligible for federal bridge replacement funding, bridges must have a sufficiency rating of less than 50.
