  • The Minister of Road Transport & Highways and Shipping Nitin Gadkari formally launched the Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS).
  • The IBMS is being developed to create an inventory of all bridges in the country and rate their structural condition.
  • The IBMS is the largest platform in the world owned by a single owner, with database that could exceed 1,50,000 bridge structures.
  • During the inventory creation each bridge is assigned a unique identification number or National Identity Number based on the state, RTO (Road Transport Office) zone and whether it is situated on a National Highway, State Highway or is a district road.
  • Precise location of the bridge in terms of latitude-longitude is also collected through GPS and based on this, the bridge is assigned a Bridge Location Number.
