The County-City Bridge Improvement Program (CCBIP) is a new program through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Department of Rural and Municipal Aid to support Kentucky counties and cities in maintaining, repairing and replacing locally owned bridges. The goals of CCBIP is to provide data, tools, training and funding resources to local agencies to:
- Encourage focus on routine maintenance and early corrective action to minimize expensive future needs.
- Provide data and education to increase bridge longevity to local governments.
- Determine prioritization for replacement and/or repair.
As part of this effort, the Department of Rural and Municipal Aid will be providing training on bridge maintenance, asset management and bridge repair and replacement through the Local Bridges 101 and Local Bridges 102 courses.
Additional Resources for the CCBIP can be found on our website at Local Government Outreach / CCBIP.
