As an island nation, Japan is particularly dependent on the good health of its bridges to connect its different regions for commercial activities. In order to reduce maintenance cost and downtime for bridges, Japanese road authorities have looked to the use of longer lasting premium materials of construction.
As an island nation, Japan is particularly dependent on the good health of its bridges to connect its different regions for commercial activities. In order to reduce maintenance cost and downtime for bridges, Japanese road authorities have looked to the use of longer lasting premium materials of construction. In the case of bridge coatings, the road authorities have specified the use of fluoropolymer topcoats for all bridges. Properly applied, fluoropolymer topcoats yield coating systems with expected lifetimes of 30-60 years, virtually eliminating the need for regular maintenance painting. These topcoats offer substantial life cycle cost savings compared to traditional topcoats.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a daily transportation lifeline for more than 200,000 people. It is one of the oldest and most recognizable bridges in the US and was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1883. The Bridge has been designated both a National and New York City Landmark.

This paper identifies the unique steps taken to safely remove lead-based paint from a major highway/commuter railroad bridge connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Camden, New Jersey, followed by the application of a new long lasting protective coating system. The paper addresses project phasing by the owner and coordination with the commuter train to keep costs down and to minimize inconvenience to the public.
This paper examines the authors successful experiences on some simple and very complex projects where both the coatings and environmental requirements were limited to a few pages. Being made up almost entirely of SSPC/NACE and PDCA standards that described “performance criteria” as opposed to being a prescriptive or proprietary type of specification defining what was to be used, when it was to be used and how it was to be done.
