This program provides funding for statewide bridge preservation activities including painting, deck repairs, and substructure repairs, as a means of extending structure life. Painting contracts shall include painting of steel on various structures as an anti-corrosion measure and will be awarded based on an approved list of bridges considering the availability and regional breakdown of funding. Preventive maintenance contracts shall include deck repairs, header reconstruction, curb reconstruction, joint resealing, substructure concrete repairs, and sealing of entire structures, with structures systematically prioritized by corridor or geographical area. Both painting and preventive maintenance contracts are awarded to preserve and prolong the useful service life of bridges, in accordance with the NJDOT Bridge Preventive Maintenance Program.
