Summary NILIM has been studying a reliable method to estimate life-cycle-cost of road bridges, in order to make plans to maintain them strategically. For the purpose of providing basic data for this study, this paper conducted investigation of actual conditions of life-cycle-cost of road bridges. Furthermore, this paper programmed the BMS(Bridge Management System) which enables to estimate life-cycle-cost of road bridges based on deterioration prediction obtained from results of national bridge inspection.
