	July 2004 Focus - Bridge System Preservation and Maintenance: Scanning for Innovation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		While all of the countries visited had a smaller number of bridges than those found in the United States, the composition (types of materials, structural systems, and typical number and length of spans) and average age of their bridge populations were similar.
		The scanning team has recommended conducting a study to determine the relative risk of extending the inspection frequency for typical bridge types in the United States and to then develop a rational method for determining the required frequency, associated rigor, and required level of inspector expertise for bridge inspections for different classifications of bridges.
		Another practice of particular interest to the scanning team was the use of bridge deck protective strategies, as bridge deck deterioration is one of the most costly aspects of maintaining this country's bridge inventory.
