Bridge Corrosion Prevention and Repair Act of 2025
Introduced Jun 26, 2025 by Rep. John Garamendi
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill establishes certain requirements to address corrosion control in bridge and railroad-bridge projects that receive federal assistance.
Specifically, certified contractors must employ a substantial number of individuals who are certified by a qualified training program in corrosion control, mitigation, and prevention in order to work on certain aspects of bridge project activities. A certified contractor must also provide training for any non-certified coating applicators employed by the contractor to work on certain aspects of a project.
The bill further requires bridge projects to implement a corrosion management system that utilizes industry-recognized standards and corrosion mitigation and prevention methods for construction, repair, and maintenance projects.
In addition, the bill expands the scope of the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing Program to include corrosion control work on rail bridges. (This program provides direct loans and loan guarantees for the development of railroad infrastructure.)
