Bridge Preservation Guide
Bridge Preservation GuideState departments of transportation (DOTs), local agencies, and other bridge owners face significant challenges in addressing the needs of their aging infrastructure. Due to limited funds and increased competition for funds among highway assets, bridge owners are challenged to cost effectively preserve and maintain their bridges to support overall highway mobility. However, having a “worst-first” approach to bridge management by focusing only on replacing poor bridges while ignoring the maintenance needs of good and fair bridges is inefficient and cost-prohibitive in the long term. |

Innovation Product Survey of Product Manufacturers
Innovation Product Survey of Product ManufacturersThe Bridge Preservation Expert Task Force Group (BPETG) has published a survey of product manufacturers to help understand their challenges in developing and launching new, innovative products for bridge preservation applications. |
Innovation Product Survey of State Bridge Maintenance Engineers
Innovation Product Survey of State Bridge Maintenance EngineersThe State Bridge Engineer Survey was conducted in the spring of 2014 as part of the Strategic Plan of the Bridge Preservation Expert Task Force Group, sponsored by FHWA. The survey was created by the Bridge Preservation Expert Task Force Group (BPETG) and distributed by the Transportation System Preservation Technical Services Program (TSP2) of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The TSP2’s principal mission is to serve as a clearinghouse with comprehensive and up-to-date information on efficient and effective preservation measures that enhance highway performance and extend useful life. |
