In the past, there were many bridge’s collapses due to lack of bridge structural capacity information. Mos t of concrete bridge health was relied on information from visual inspection, which sometime was inadequate. This study was conducted i n order to investigate relationship between bridge structural condition and bridge visual condition. This study was a part of a big project conducted at Department of Highways of Thailand. In this study, 31 bridges including slab-type bridges, plank-girder b ridges, prestressed box-beam bridges, prestressed I-girder bridges and prestressed multibeam bridges were selected for visual inspection an d load test. It was found a positive correlation between bridge appeara nce and bridge’s load carrying capacity. However, statistical charac teristic revealed low correlation between them.
