New Jersey Turnpike Authority• NJ Turnpike
– Est. 1949, Opened 1951– 148 miles long, 29 Interchanges– >251,000,000 vehicles 2007
• Garden State Parkway – Est. 1952, Opened 1956– 173 Miles long, 359 Exits
and Entrances– >439,000,000 vehicles 2007

NJTA Bridge Inventory
• ~1,000 total bridges – 498 (Turnpike) – 486 (Parkway)
• ~20M Sq.Ft. Deck Area – 15M Sq. Ft. (Turnpike)– 5M Sq. Ft. (Parkway)
![Page 7: JEREMY SHAFFER, Ph.D. VICE PRESIDENT New Jersey Turnpike Next Generation Bridge Inspection Software](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649f065503460f94c1c390/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The New Jersey Turnpike varies from two, two-lane roadways to up to six, three-lane roadways by Newark Airport, with dual-dual roadways for 32
miles through the busiest zone.

Need
• Too many different databases– Difficult to maintain and update
• Two different inspection formats from Parkway and Turnpike
• Coordination with multiple consultants
• Difficulty in retrieving/searching information (text and pictures)
• Access based system not flexible
![Page 9: JEREMY SHAFFER, Ph.D. VICE PRESIDENT New Jersey Turnpike Next Generation Bridge Inspection Software](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649f065503460f94c1c390/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Solution Requirements
• Proven system that could be tailored to Turnpike’s exact needs
• Generate individual and summary reports
• Single database to integrate all data
• Easy to Learn and Use
• Expandable (all structures)
• Simplify consultant assignment, submission, review
![Page 10: JEREMY SHAFFER, Ph.D. VICE PRESIDENT New Jersey Turnpike Next Generation Bridge Inspection Software](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649f065503460f94c1c390/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Implementation• Worked with Turnpike and Consultants to
customize BridgeInspect software• Pilot Project in mid-2007 (Part C – 5 bridges)• Full Implementation Jan. 2008 (All Turnpike
and Parkway bridges)• Goals:
– Enhance Quality– Save Time– Integrate all information– Seamless transition from old to new

Bridge Inspection Efforts
• Part A, B, and C inspection contracts
• Turnpike utilized a 7 Page “Checklist” format for the core of the report
• Detailed Summary Reports generated by District
• Excel Spreadsheets for quantifying conditions of main parts of bridge (BPS)
• Compliance with FHWA NBI via NJDOT
![Page 12: JEREMY SHAFFER, Ph.D. VICE PRESIDENT New Jersey Turnpike Next Generation Bridge Inspection Software](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649f065503460f94c1c390/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Traditional Inspection Forms• Four Page Bullet forms with a traditional plan view
schematic used for plotting lane arrangements, locations of spalls above and below deck, etc. by span/lane. (Pages 1-4)
• Structure information section: used to describe the structure (Page 5)
• Close-up inspection findings page: used to note the conditions of any major deficiencies found in the joint areas, abutment/pier supports/pads, and on bearing devices (Page 6)
• Bearing device table: used to locate and emphasize deficiencies (Page 7)
• New Page 8
