SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Peer Exchange on Corrosion 

Prevention and Mitigation for Highway 

Bridges 

OMB Control Number: (if applicable). 

Summary: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) through their 

stewardship and oversight role provides 

support to State departments of 

transportation and other stakeholders in 

implementing the Federal-aid Highway 

Program (FAHP). In addition to 

overseeing the FAHP, FHWA supports 

State DOTs and other stakeholders in 

the development and construction of 

highway projects, including providing 

technical assistance in the 

implementation of preservation 

activities to maintain and improve the 

condition of their bridges. The FHWA 

also conducts research to develop tools, 

methods, and procedures to advance the 

practice in bridge preservation. 

In September 2021, Government 

Accountability Office (GAO) in their 

report Highway Bridges: Federal 

Highway Administration Could Better 

Assist States with Information on 

Corrosion Practices, GA0–21–104249 

made a recommendation to FHWA to 

include activities in ongoing bridge 

preservation efforts, such as peer 

exchanges and case studies that focus 

on addressing the challenges states face 

with determining the circumstances 

under which specific corrosion 

practices and materials are most 

effective. To implement GAO’s 

recommendation from the report, 

FHWA plans to conduct two regional 

peer exchanges. First peer exchange will 

include 9 States in the mid-west and 

north-east States which have 

environments with arid conditions or 

that experience frequent freeze/thaw 

cycles and use de-icing chemicals on 

their highway bridges, and second will 

include 9 States in the south-east and 

west States which have environments 

that experience freeze/thaw cycles and/ 

or have highway bridges that are 

exposed to saltwater environment. 

These peer exchanges will focus on 

States’ practices and materials used that 

mitigate bridge corrosion. Based on 

these shared experiences and lessons 

learned, FHWA will publish case 

studies and/or communicate the 

findings to States to improve their 

bridge preservation programs. 

Respondents: State Departments of 

Transportation Agencies responsible for 

designing and maintaining highway 

bridges. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated average 

reporting burden per response is 16 

hours for each State.
