Bridge Corrosion Prevention and Repair Act of 2025

This bill sets rules for bridge and railroad bridge projects that get federal money, requiring that the contractors doing the work employ a significant number of workers trained and certified in preventing and fixing corrosion (the gradual wearing away of metal). Contractors must also provide training for any workers who aren't already certified. Bridge projects would need to follow recognized industry standards for preventing corrosion during construction, repair, and maintenance. The bill also allows a federal loan program for railroad improvements to cover corrosion work on rail bridges and requires the Department of Transportation to study and share best practices for inspecting and dealing with corrosion on a specific type of steel bridge.
