Minnesota bridges were recently examined as part of a project to develop guidance and methods to estimate __ reinforcement section loss for bridge maintenance.

Which U.S. city announced a new program that allows crosswalks, sidewalks, residential streets, residential intersections and curb extensions to be painted into murals?

In a recent study, researchers from UGA suggested a new way to prioritize bridge maintenance by looking at time-dependent element interactions, also known as coactiveness. While bridges have an average 75-year lifespan, the researchers claimed that by employing their maintenance method, the infrastructure lifespan could be extended beyond 100 years. Do you foresee the method being adopted by DOTs or other associations such as the FHWA or ARTA?

Researchers from Michigan State University plan to add more data-tracking sensors to the Mackinac Bridge. With progression of the prototypes since 2016, do you think this kind of technology will make its way to assist the preservation/management of other bridge structures?

What is the effect on the permeability of a coating when you add additional coats, either at the time of the original painting or as a maintenance activity?
