How can learnings from innovative and sustainable operation and maintenance (O&M) of bridges contribute to improved planning for and design of bridges? The present article will highlight how important it is to consider O&M issues already in the planning and design phase. Durable solutions; easy access for inspection, repair and renewal projects; and consideration of necessary traffic regulating measures are vital to cost optimal operation. Likewise, asset management systems that are able to provide precise and current performance information are vital to cost optimal operation. Today's bridge owners demand solutions that maximise reliability and availability as well as minimise costs, environmental impacts and the probability of loss of life and limb. To accommodate this, it is important to consider both experience from O&M of existing bridges and the possibilities that come with application of new technologies.
