Abstract:The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) bridge inventory is rapidly aging. As such, the Cabinet
needs to identify and implement relevant preventative maintenance (PM) actions to extend the useful
service lives of those structures. Maintenance actions, costs, and application interval/repair durability
information have been obtained for both cyclical and condition-based bridge PM. Additionally,
information rehabilitation actions were acquired from a regional DOT survey and from other literature. As
part of this study, the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) researchers monitored a KYTC bridge
washing project to assess its level of effectiveness and to identify potential improvements. Based upon
these tasks, recommended guidance was provided to KYTC for use when implementing bridge PM
programs. The guidance includes a discussion of critical PM activities, strategies to adopt training and
work documents (i.e., special notes) for contract work, and the implementation of work standards/special
operating procedures for work performed by KYTC personnel. This report also includes details on the
tools and training KYTC district-level personnel will need and outlines a roadmap for conducting pilot
programmatic PM work in several districts.
