The effective management of bridges and other highway structures is fundamental to
the transport infrastructure of the United Kingdom. This document has been produced
to assist bridge managers and practitioners with that task.
This is an important document which has been promoted by the UK Bridges Board and
funded by the Department for Transport.
On behalf of the UK Bridges Board I am pleased to commend this document to you and
advise that all highway authorities and other owners adopt the recommendations set
out in the Code in a measured way.
