A Bridge Commission is a governing body or agency responsible for overseeing the construction, maintenance, operation, and management of bridges, often those that connect different regions or cross significant bodies of water. These commissions ensure that the bridges under their jurisdiction remain safe, accessible, and financially sustainable, often through toll collection or public funding. They may also be involved in planning future bridge projects, coordinating with local governments, and enforcing regulations related to bridge use.
