Good Afternoon

We are in receipt of you FOI but require further clarification on one of
the questions.  

 1. How many bridges on motorways or A-roads have sections which are in a
"poor" or "very poor condition"?

Can you please define what you mean when you refer to a “section”.  All
elements of a structure are assessed for each Bridge Condition Index
inspection (General Inspection). All items are scored individually, so
this includes elements like painting finishes, vegetation etc. We would
need to understand exactly what you are referring to by “section.” This
may be an intensive search depending on what exactly you are after.

The BCI scores are used to calculate if a bridge is in a “State of Good
Repair.” A structure is considered to be in a 'State of Good Repair' if
the weighted BCI Score (0.6 x BCI Average + 0.4 x BCI Critical) is greater
than 65. Of the 309 bridges on A roads or motorways in North Yorkshire
that are maintained by NYC, only 3 score below 65.
