The Hal Adams Bridge is the only suspension bridge in the state of Florida. During the 2001 routine bridge inspection the bridge was identified as a candidate to be repainted. The authors Don Buwalda, Stephen Haney, and Greg Richards participated in the assessment, plan development, and project execution. This paper identifies areas that made the Hal Adams Bridge: “A Challenging Repainting Project on a Unique Florida Bridge.” A history of actual experiences and lessons learned will be presented from the point of view of the owner and third party inspection firms.
