What is BrM? BrM is a
powerful Bridge Management Software
tool that is used by over 44 State, Federal,
local, and international agencies.

BrM, stores bridge inventory and
inspection data, formulates, network-
wide preservation and improvement
policies for use in evaluating the needs
of each bridge in a network.

The LADOTD working on the
implementation of their bridge
management system, using BrM5.3,
this system will allow the LADOTD to
make consistent and cost-effective
decisions for their bridge
maintenance, rehabilitation, and
replacement program.

BrM Bridge View List
The Bridges>view list task serves as the BrM
Homepage. The view list task is a complete
list of all of the bridges in the system.
![Page 7: BrM (formerly Pontis - ltrc.lsu.eduBridge_Management).pdf · BrM, stores bridge inventory and inspection data, formulates, network-wide preservation and improvement policies for use](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022523/5b34b78a7f8b9aa0238e540a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
BrM Bridge View List
When a bridge is highlighted the Inspection
Summary grouping will display information
about the selected bridge’s most recent
inspection.

*Note: Google Maps is a product of Google and
therefore BrM cannot control potential browser
issues with its use.
*Note: No more than 100 bridges can be mapped
at a time. If more than 100 bridges are selected,
the following message will appear:
