Today was my first inspection in Rhode Island where I inspected a simple span concrete butted box beam bridge. The bridge carries Victory Highway over Branch River in Burrillville. The bridge showed leakage between the butted box beams and reflective longitudinal cracks which form at the joints between the box beams. Today was also my first time using an under bridge inspection unit (UBIU) or snooper.
After the inspection was finished we were able to make are way over to another bridge that was missing a typical photo. The arch is just down stream from a dam with fast and violent water rushing under it.
