Orange County Public Works (OCPW) owns and maintains 64 bridges within the unincorporated areas of Orange County. OCPW developed Bridge Inventory Management and Maintenance Program (BIMMP) to organize and monitor bridge inventory, rank bridges by type of work needed, and identify bridge projects for County’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Maintenance Improvement Plan (MIP). Currently County’s MIP averages $2.5M dollars a year and consists of maintenance of 3-4 bridges per year and County’s 7-Year CIP includes 9 bridges identified for replacement and rehabilitation, valued at approximately $74M.
