ZAGREB, 19 Dec, 2021 - The state-run Croatian road operator Hrvatske Ceste (HC) is about to start inspecting 109 bridges throughout the country, according to a report released recently by the Večernji List daily.

The network of state roads in Croatia includes over 1,000 bridges with one or more spans with the length of five or more metres.

In 1995, when the legislation on this matter was adopted, the HC company introduced a system for the maintenance and supervision of roads and road structures.

The job of inspecting the 109 bridges is estimated at HRK 2.5 million (€333,000) without Value Added Tax.

To ensure uniformity and objectivity of the inspection, evaluations are conducted using a standardised procedure called HRMOS, based on the system used by the Danish Road Directorate.
