OCI is currently providing inspection services for 37 CIP projects.

Departmental Strategic Goals

Maintaining the roadway network in sound condition is essential to transportation mobility and safety. Roads and bridges are two major components of transportation infrastructure. The County owns and maintains 224 bridges, which are defined as crossings with a total span length of 20 feet or greater. OTE also conducts biennial safety inspections on two bridges that are maintained by the Division of Parks and Recreation.

Categories of bridge condition or health are good, fair, and poor. A bridge in the poor category may be safe but require repair or replacement in the near future. The chart to the right illustrates the overall health of the County’s bridges. The County is responsible for over 1,300 centerline miles of roadway. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI)

represents the general pavement condition of a road. A road segment with a PCI of 70 or higher is in acceptable condition. The goal of the County’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) is 85% of the roadway segments rated at a PCI of 70 or higher and no more than 10% of the network with PCI less than 60, however we are evaluating the goal to better align with desired outcomes.
