Renovating bridges

Aid - "Bridge renovation plan" set up by the Banque des Territoires, Recovery Plan

Objective:
France has approximately 300,000 bridges, 10% of which are at risk of structural failure. This figure rises to 18% for bridges under municipal jurisdiction. Lack of knowledge about the actual condition of these bridges, and therefore the associated risks and costs, is a major obstacle to decision-making within local authorities.

Beneficiaries: local authorities.

The Banque des Territoires has therefore designed a turnkey solution - a simple and free upstream pre-diagnosis of the stock to target where to focus efforts, engineering credits for advanced studies on bridges actually at risk, and financing including very long-term loans or equity - in order to put the management of civil engineering structures back at the center and in a long-term vision.

Support: the Banque des Territoires can unlock engineering credits allowing co-financing with the local authority up to 50% of more in-depth engineering studies for the most critical structures; substantial aid for local decision-making.
