Structure Numbering

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is responsible for assigning new structure numbers for all structure types including highway-carrying bridges, high mast light poles (HMLP), overhead sign structures, pedestrian bridges, railroad-carrying bridges and dams. Each new structure in the inventory will be assigned a single seven (7) digit number.

All structure numbers must be requested early in the Final Design phase and must be included on the structure plans. Once assigned, a structure number will typically not change through the life of the structure.

This list provides forms and instructions for structure numbering:
