Best Answer

All bridges in the Unites States are inspected every two years -- more often if they are critical. Railroads have B & B (bridge and building) engineers who look over the bridges under their charge. Because railroad loadings are larger than highway loads, railroad bridges tend to be stronger than other kinds.
