In order to apply the asset management into the bridge maintenance, the current level of service of each bridge should be first investigated. This study evaluated the level of service of bridges under the service in the field. Depending on the evaluating personnels' prior experience and information the level of service could be varied. The weight factor for each performance measure may need to be re-examined for better incorporation of the importance of structural behavior or condition of bridges. In addition, the current evaluating criteria is more like qualitative rather than quatitative, and hence may cause deviations between the evaluating personnels. Therefore, there is a strong research intends on the development of a specific quantitative criteria.
