The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO), the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Hampton Roads metropolitan planning area, has completed the DRAFT Hampton Roads Regional Bridge Study – 2025 Update report.
Given the large presence of water in and around Hampton Roads, bridges play an integral role in the Hampton Roads transportation system. Additionally, while it is given that all infrastructure deteriorates over time, this is more of a concern for aging bridges due to the higher costs associated with maintaining them. Due to these concerns, the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization began analyzing factors impacting regional bridges in 2007.
The original Hampton Roads Regional Bridge Study, which was released in 2008, provided a regional analysis of topics such as bridge inspections and ratings, deficient bridges, bridge funding, and bridge projects. This 2025 update of the Hampton Roads Regional Bridge Study builds on the 2012 update and the 2018 update.
