Abstract: Bridge Unit Department of Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) Malaysia was using Bridge Maintenance System (BMS) to evaluate the condition of bridge. Introducing of condition rating method implemented in United Kingdom to determine the level of Maintenance Priority Number (MPN) in order to sustain the bridge in good condition. It is logical, relatively simple to use in practice and readily understood by the inspector. This research is to determine the level of MPN and to predict the bridge performance and predict the lifespan of bridge. The data of bridges which is called as routine condition inspection form consist of the year built, type of maintenance, condition of bridge, capacity and road type were getting from Petaling District of Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR). Through determination of MPN can analysed the condition of bridge structure. Moreover, MPN can outline the scheme of maintenance. The results show that the value of all elements for Jambatan near to Penjara Sungai Buloh is below 50 and the most critical is beam element which is 7.86. From the result, it is expected the bridge can sustain >44 years by introducing maintenance of beam element which is 6 years (minor maintenance) and 10 years (major maintenance) and giving.
