Bridge Management Manual
Bridge Management Manual
The Bridge Management Manual (BMM) has been developed to provide the Bridge Management staff and consultants with UDOT policies, procedures, and practices. In general, Bridge Management focuses on the responsible management of the in service bridge inventory. In addition, the BMM addresses the Structures Division’s emergency response plan and coordination with local governments. All criteria presented in the BMM are expected to be met to help fulfill UDOT’s mission of providing a safe and efficient transportation system.
For convenience, the “Current BMM” includes the most recent full release of the written manual along with interim revisions to date in a single document. Please verify that the copy includes the most current interim revisions. Previous published versions of the BMM, and BMM Revision Memoranda are provided below.
