Included Work Categories

The following specific work categories are eligible work types under BMIP funding:
  • Re-decking projects when deck condition meets the BMIP criteria.
  • Bridge raisings if the bridge has damage due to over-height impacts (superstructure equals 5 or 6 as a result of impact damage). Additional bridges could be included on a case-by-case basis to ensure that raising one does not move the impact problem to another bridge.
  • Relief joints in concrete pavement and/or approach slab work if action helps to improve deck, substructure, or superstructure element ratings (limit of 40 feet from end of bridge).
  • Approach guard fence, mow strip, safety end treatment, and transition when associated with other approved work (
    up to
    150 ft.
    .per bridge corner
    ).
  • Steel protective coatings.
