We inspect and maintain various highway structures
across North Somerset.
We look after culverts, cattle grids, subways and
bridges and their retaining walls in the interests of road
safety.
We constantly monitor the movement of abnormal loads through the
district and act promptly to reports of structural damage and other
problems.
However, any other repairs, such as bridge strengthening, are
included as part of our annual maintenance programme.
We aim to inspect structures with a span of more than 0.9m (3ft)
and structural walls with a supporting height of more than 1.5m
(5ft) every two years.
We also make sure privately-owned structures are kept in a safe
condition for road users.
We only use reputable contractors to carry out any work and try to
reclaim and reuse materials where possible.
