Importance of Inspection-Movable bridges are built to the rigid specifications
;
of such groups as the American Association of State Highway and
;
Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American Road Builders Association
;
(ARBA) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). While movable bridges are
;
designed to provide many years of reliable service, they operate in a harsh
;
environment. Machinery and electrical components are often exposed to the
;
weather year-round, and in salt-water areas, environmental deterioration is
;
accelerated. Many bridges in service today were built over fifty years ago,
;
and even the most ruggedly designed bridge cannot escape wear and
;
deterioration over such a long period.
