In this study, short-term monitoring was carried out for an existing long-span bridge, which has been managed by a local government, with the aim of evaluating its present performance toward planning future maintenance strategies. The bridge studied is a cantilever steel truss bridge, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1937. Consequently, the performance of Gerber hinges was evaluated, then information on repair was obtained.
