Florida DOT Launches A Review Of Segmental Bridge Inspection Procedures
Florida DOT announced, “In light of preliminary bridge inspection findings on the Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart, . . . Secretary Kevin J. Thibault has called for a proactive review of segmental bridge inspection procedures statewide. As part of this on-going review, FDOT is examining inspection findings as well as FDOT laboratory test results and partnering with the Federal Highway Administration, universities, and transportation peers nationwide to develop recommendations to be utilized for inspections going forward. The review will be completed as quickly as possible and recommendations will be shared as soon as they are available.” FDOT’s news release notes that fewer than 100 of the state’s 12,400 bridges were constructed segmentally.
CBS News Miami reports on the announcement.

The Arizona Department Of Transportation announced that its unique use of thermal cameras to detect wrong-way drivers on freeway off-ramps in Phoenix “will continue to grow, especially after the cameras have worked well as part of a pilot project along Interstate 17.” A new report on the pilot concludes that the cameras are “a reliable way to detect wrong-way vehicles, alert law enforcement and warn other drivers to reduce the risk of crashes involving often-impaired wrong-way drivers,” according to an ADOT news release.
