Abstract
Small structure inspections (those under 20 ft) are often overlooked but are crucial when maintaining highway infrastructure. While not mandatory, INDOT and FHWA recommend routine inspections every 4 to 6 years. Identifying these structures beneath our roadways is vital for timely repairs or replacements and can prevent costly emergencies. A robust inspection program sup- ported by tools like USI’s IVY software, ensures efficient data management and enables agencies to plan and act proactively based on inspection results.
