  • Bridging the Gaps in Bicycling Networks an Advocate’S Guide to Getting Bikes on Bridges
    Bridging the Gaps in Bicycling Networks An advocate’s guide to getting bikes on bridges Bridges are important. Whether over rivers, lakes, or built obstacles such as freeways, bridges are critical to bicyclists. Inaccessible bridges can force substantial detours or sever routes entirely, effectively discouraging or eliminating bike travel. As veteran Seattle bike and pedestrian planner Peter Lagerwey says: "If you can't get across the bridges, nothing else matters." In addition to their practical worth, bridges are also often high‐profile, large‐scale projects; the inclusion of bicycle facilities is an important symbolic recognition of the role of bicycling and walking in transportation networks. Bicyclists can expect to see more and more bridges under construction in the coming months and years, creating opportunities (and risks) for bicyclists. According to the Government Accountability Office, one quarter of the 602,977 bridges on the country’s roadways is either structurally deficient and in need of repair, or functionally obsolete and is not adequate for today’s traffic needs. Seventy‐one thousand of them are considered structurally deficient, with a major defect in structure or deck. In some states, more than 20 percent of the bridges fit this description. A 2010 report by the U.S. PIRG Education Fund observes that, “Generally, engineers build bridges in the United States for a useful life of 50 years. The average age of America’s bridges is now 43 years, with 185,000 over 50 years old. By 2030, that number could double.” These overdue bridge repair or replacement projects mean more chances to open up bridges to biking and walking than ever before.

The determination of warrants for bridge railing and approach guardrails is a fundamental roadside safety issue. These are specialized roadside safety barriers that are intended to capture and smoothly redirect errant vehicles that leave the roadway either on the bridge itself or on the approach to the bridge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires tested bridge rails and approach guardrails on all National Highway System (NHS) Roadways. However, states are given the discretion to develop their own policies for non-NHS roads.
