The Bridge Technical Notes have been produced to supplement the Australian Standard and Commentary, AS 5100 - Bridge Design - 2004.  


They supplement Austroads Bridge Technology publications, which are available on the Austroads website.

These Technical Notes specify VicRoads individual requirements regarding a range of bridge related issues including the design, assessment and management of bridges and other road related structures.
