LTAP - Bridge and Culvert Inspection Workshop
CCATO partnered with Northwest Commission to present a bridge and culvert inspection workshop for local officials on May 1, 2025, at the Clarion Township Building. LTAP instructor Jason Dailey shared why the requirements for inspection were established and ownership responsibilities. Components of different bridges, including the approach roadway, deck, superstructure, and substructure are discussed as well as culverts. The course discusses common (and uncommon) failure mechanisms typically encountered on smaller span structures.
