Definition of DLs
| DL | Severity of damage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Minor | Either no damage or minor structural issues that have negligible impact on the bridge’s functionality or safety |
| 2 | Moderate | Noticeable structural or functional impairments that still allow for the bridge’s general use, possibly with some limitations |
| 3 | Significant | Damage severely affecting the bridge’s structural integrity or functionality, potentially necessitating partial or complete closure or the imposition of weight limits |
| 4 | Severe | Extensive structural damage compromising the bridge’s safety and functionality, making it likely unsafe for regular use. The bridge may require closure or very limited access until significant repairs or reconstruction are undertaken |
