ACTGOV Bridge Assets: Locations and Attributes of Bridges in Australian Capital Territory

ACTGOV Bridge Assets is a point dataset showing the locations of bridges and culverts in the Australian Capital Territory, owned or managed by the City Services, City and Environment Directorate. Attributes include location description, suburb, ownership, asset type, subtype, function, materials, lengths, span numbers, crossing details, clearance details, joints, and bearing details. The dataset is maintained by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue (ACTmapi) and was last updated on April 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map bridge and culvert locations based on geospatial point data.
• Analyze infrastructure ownership and maintenance responsibilities based on ownership and 'maintained by' attributes.
• Classify bridge types and construction materials based on asset type, subtype, and materials attributes.
• Assess structural specifications for crossings based on length, span number, clearance, and joint details.

Strengths

• Dataset includes a detailed list of 18 asset subtypes, such as Arch Bridge, Cable Stayed Bridge, and Pipe Culvert.
• Data is sourced from an authoritative government asset database via works-as-executed handover or field audits.
• Available in multiple formats including CSV, GeoJSON, and GPKG for flexible access.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, as assets owned privately or by other government bodies may not be included.
