Prepared by Bridge Demolition Subcommittee of the Temporary Works Committee of the Construction Institute of ASCE Bridge Demolition Engineering: Best Practices, MOP 157, proposes consistent industry standards by setting minimum expectations for what should be included in a safe and effective demolition plan, indicating that a bridge coming out of service need not be held to the same design standards as a permanent structure.

MOP 157 intends to be a valued resource for engineers performing bridge demolition and those engineers reviewing bridge demolition analysis.
