Objective: The present work seeks to expose the current pathological samples in the Champotón bridge, using its own methodology. Methods: It consists of an initial determination on the investigations in the structure and finishes. A non-destructive study of the property was carried out, through an eminently field study, in a qualitative, quantitative, descriptive and longitudinal way, first carrying out a visual inspection, preparing a photographic record, determining a diagnosis that would allow us to information on the object of study, an analysis of the deteriorations found, make a catalog of bridge factories to know the types of design materials, an own evaluation and finally, the most appropriate maintenance plans and proposed criteria were updated with their symbols correspondent. Conclusions. When carrying out a detailed visual inspection of the existing pathologies of the bridge, it is concluded that it requires constant routine maintenance and the pathologies found demand a short-term preventive rehabilitation, in order to prevent further progress and generate probable damages.
