Damage to bridges and structures
Last updated 1 February 2023
1. Overview
As the Highway Authority we have a duty to maintain our highway structures:
- road bridges
- footbridges
- retaining walls
- other structures that support or span the public highway
We've a limited amount of money to spend on maintaining bridges and structures. This means we have to give priority to the more serious problems in the area.
Bridges and structures that may be affecting public safety are given priority.
