Structural Engineering

Our mission is to provide ODOT districts with standards, policy, procedures, training, design resources, data and research to allow them to continually monitor and improve the quality of ODOT’s bridge inventory. This support will enable them to provide safe, cost effective, durable and smooth riding bridges for the public, along with providing bridges that meet the needs of Ohio’s growing economy.
