SUMMARY

In FY 2006-07, the Department of Transportation spent $2.3 million to inspect 5,188 bridges owned by the State of Wisconsin. Between January 2003 and November 2007, it completed 98.1 percent of routine inspections within the required 24-month intervals. We recommended the development of policies and procedures for tracking routine bridge maintenance work performed by counties, which cost $5.7 million in 2006.
