In the Columbia River Interstate Bridge and approaches you have a property which should be maintained in good condition. So maintained. there is hardly any limit to the life of the structure; but indifferently maintained, deterioration might come about with comparative rapidity.

(1) Paint:

The feature most subject to deterioration, aside from the pavement, is the steel superstructure work. To prevent rust the structure must be kept painted. For the purpose of future guidance in buying paint different makes of standard bridge paints were used—on different parts of the structure. You have thus a large, practical, comparative test of the different paints. As nearly as practicable, all paints were handled and applied uniformly, so that the paint which lasts longest, excepting accidents, should be considered the best paint for your location and conditions.
