Department of Surface Transport

Bridges Category: Common

The Department of Surface Transport, under the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, is responsible for the design, construction, and management of national roads. In recent years, the department has focused on addressing road disaster and risk issues. This has led to the collection and management of geospatial data for inventory, risk reduction, and resilience planning. The department now has comprehensive data on national highways, roads, and bridges, including information on slope failure locations. Additionally, a bridge management database has been established to maintain bridge inventory and related information, facilitating the planning, mitigation, and prioritization of maintenance interventions.
