Abstract: 
The Sikanni Chief River Bridge, 256.1 km of the Alaska Highway, British Columbia, Canada, is a five-span structure which was built in 1968. Results from five detailed visual condition evaluations of this bridge, completed over the last decade, are provided within this paper. Findings from the load rating of this structure are also outlined. Deficiencies were detected both from the inspections and the load rating calculations; however, the deficiencies noted based on the load ratings are in fact not observable in the field. The focus of this paper is to show that the findings from the two evaluations differed and to provide the decisions that were made with respect to those differing findings.
