Abstract

This report summarizes findings from a 24-month study in which the performance of cathodic protection systems for substructures of two interstate bridges was remotely monitored. The two bridges #860050 and #860054 are located on the “Alligator Alley” toll portion of eastbound I-75 in Broward County, FL. Each bridge spans two pilesupported piers inside a drainage canal. The seven steel H-piles supporting the piers are jacketed in concrete to a level just below the water surface and are cathodically protected by three magnesium anodes spaced uniformly over their submerged length.
