<p>Many developed countries have a national road network including a significant number of bridges in need of renovation or replacement in the coming years. The reason for this is their technical and functional capacity becoming insufficient due to aging and changes in societal demands. Therefore, these bridges need to be adjusted or replaced. National authorities in The Netherlands currently require a design life of 100 years for new bridges, however nowadays it seems reasonable to have a certain flexibility for this parameter. Since the selected design life has its implications on structural solutions and choice of materials, the identification of the optimal design life for bridges seems necessary. This paper gives a summary on the issue regarding the optimum design life of bridges and it highlights the framework of the upcoming research activities.</p>

There exists a lack of medium range financial planing and provision of means. The elaboration of a management system for existing structures has only been started in 1997.

Trans Maluku is a national transportation network that links 12 island groups in Maluku Province. Island Group XII is Ambon Island that became PKN of Maluku province. This study aimed to find out ltaw tlte performance of the national road network in Island Group XII of Ambon Island and formulate development strategies. Analysis using quantitative descriptive method and SWOT analysis. 71ze results of the national road network Passo-Galala, Lahthalat- Batu Gantong and Waihaong-Batu Merah indicates that: indicators of accessibility, capacity and integrated quite effectively. Indicators are classified as not effective is Road Safety. The use of tire road network of relatively efficient aspects of tire VCR. Construction of support facilities necessary for the security of road users and an increase in financing the road network.
