This paper describes the program of research on cathodic protection at the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, including both field studies on reinforced concrete highway bridges and related studies of a more fundamental nature carried out under research contracts. Work has concentrated on developing methods of cathodically protecting bridge decks and substructure components, evaluating instrumentation for use in conjunction with cathodic protection systems, measuring long term effects, and determining the implications of applying cathodic protection to prestressed concrete.
