 Overview:
(Revised 12/20/2005)
In an effort to improve safety and protect the public’s investment
in its infrastructure, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
has enacted changes in the National Bridge Inspection Standards
(NBIS - CFR 650). A Plan of Action (POA) is now required to be prepared
for all bridges determined to be scour critical. As we move together
towards complying with this updated NBIS rule, we encourage you
to continue to work within your agency and with your State Local
Assistance representatives engaged in the scour program to develop
a POA for each scour critical bridge identified during the recent
scour evaluation program. Completed plans should be submitted to
Caltrans by the established deadline for review. <
