heal.abstract	The Egnatia Freeway is a major transportation corridor, crossing northern Greece from the Adriatic Sea to the Turkish Border and connecting Europe with Asia Minor. With a length of 700 km and more than 650 bridges it is considered the largest transportation project ever undertaken in Greece. The Egnatia Freeway authority, responsible for supervising the construction of the project, and managing and maintaining the freeway, has initiated a project for developing a bridge management system (E-BMS) with the objectives of: • Monitoring the freeway's bridges and evaluating the condition of their elements, • Allocating funds for bridge MR&R activities, • Protecting bridges against potential seismic events and • Handling aftershock actions after a seismic event. The E-BMS structure is shown in Figure 1: (Figure Presented) © 2006 Taylors Francis Group.	en
