What Is the SolTecUSA Bridge Inventory?

The SolTecUSA bridge inventory layer aggregates inspection records for hundreds of thousands of bridges across the United States from external Route Intelligence sources. RoadScope indexes this data and overlays it on your route maps.

What the Inventory Includes

• Bridge location (coordinates)
• Structure type and material
• Vertical clearance (roadway and railroad)
• Weight ratings (Operating and Inventory ratings)
• Deck width and number of lanes
• Last inspection date and condition rating

How RoadScope Uses the Inventory

When you draw a route, RoadScope automatically identifies all bridge inventory records within the route corridor and adds them as POIs with their documented clearance and weight data.

**Important:** Inventory data reflects documented values as of the last inspection. Always verify critical constraints with field survey — bridges may have been modified, restricted, or changed since the record was updated.

Inventory + Field Survey

The most defensible route documentation combines the inventory layer (for initial screening and historical context) with current field measurements. When your field-measured clearance differs from the documented value, document both and note the discrepancy.

Canadian Bridge Data

For Canadian routes, RoadScope uses the SolTecCAN bridge intelligence layer as the equivalent.
