  • Abstract:
    ISTEA allows Federal participation in bridge painting, seismic retrofitting, and the application-of calcium magnesium acetate (noncorrosive deicing salt) to highway .bridges. These items of work are also now eligible for participation with HBRRP funds on deficient bridges. In March, 1994, the President signed a bill (enacted into law as Pub. L. 103-220) permitting HBRIW funds to be used to seismic retrofit non-deficient as well as deficient bridges. New requirements have been established concerning bridges on Indian reservations. The legislation requires that the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, inventory all bridges on Indian reservation and park roads. For each fiscal year, not less than 1 percent of HBRRP finds apportioned to each State that has an Indian reservation within its boundaries shall be expended for projects to replace, rehabilitate, paint, or apply calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) to highway bridges located on Indian reservation roads (IENs). ISTEA also continues to fund high-cost bridge projects through the Discretionary Bridge Program @BP), although at a much reduced fUnding level--from approximately $225 million per year to approximately $68 million per year. From this program, a portion of funding is set-aside to carry out a Timber Bridge Research and Demonstration Program that will make new information and technology on timber bridges available to transportation agencies. The construction grant portion of the “timber bridge” program applies to the construction of timber bridge projects at a funding level of $7 million for FY 1992 and $7.5 million annually from FY 1993 through FY 1997. The research portion of the program is funded at $1 million annually. Provisions have been included in ISTEA to allow States to transfer up to 40 percent of the HBIUKP fknds to the NHS or STP programs. Section 302 of the National Highway System Designation Act. of 1995 (NHSDA) increased the amount to 50 percent. This report focuses on the major provisions of the current highway bridge program
