THE ROLE
Transportation Engineer 3’s in the Division of Bridges provide lead services in the development of projects and tasks that improve the safety, capacity, and efficiency of the State’s transportation system and find solutions to challenging structural engineering problems.
The Division of Bridges manages the state’s highway and rail bridge inventory and other transportation structures such as span poles, mast arms, large highway sign structures, and hi-mast lighting. The unit follows the project through to construction, reviews contractor-developed drawings to facilitate construction, ensures contract compliance, and provides support to address unforeseen conditions during construction.
The State Bridge Design unit is responsible for the design of State bridges and overhead traffic structures utilizing State in-house staff producing safe, efficient, and aesthetic structures. This group also develops and maintains bridge design standards for use by State and consultant engineers.
Maintaining and improving upon the State’s bridge inventory is critical to accomplish CTDOT’s mission. Bridge structural analysis is conducted by Transportation Engineers in the State Bridge Design Load Rating section to:
Determine which structures may require remedial action;
Determine safe posting limits for structures with substandard load capacities;
Assist in the most effective use of available resources for rehabilitation or replacement;
Assist in permit vehicle reviews;
Satisfy FHWA requirements that every structure in the State on the National Bridge Inventory has an associated load rating in accordance with the most recent AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation.
