Many accidents today may involve damage to the structure of a bridge, but the actual damage and cost of repair are being exaggerated. Elite has on staff, experts that can analyze the repair and give you the real cost to fix it. We analyze all issues that can be involved including the following to save you money.

• Steel-I beam and pre-stressed concrete beam bridges, most built in the ’60’s and ’70’s, are reaching the end of their design lifespan of fifty years.
• More than one half of the nation’s interstate bridges today are more than 37 years old.
• The closer a bridge is to the end of its life when your insured damages a beam, the more tempting it is for the DOT engineers to replace the bridge rather than repair the beam.
• Even badly bent steel beams can be heat-straightened and pre-stressed beams with severed tendons can be repaired at a much lower cost than replacing them.
