Bridges are a vital part of the primary infrastructures of transportation. To protect the bridges, a bridge painting program in Maryland was initiated in 1980. At that time lead based paints were used for painting the bridges. Around 1986, due to environmental, workers safety and health issues, Maryland as well as other states ceased using lead based paints. As a result new paint technology was developed for bridge paintings needs.
