This definition of Bridge Preservation is a great step forward and an excellent foundation to build the bridge preservation initiative on. Hopefully, it will be approved by SCOM and become part of the AASHTO Glossary.
I am not sure when and how the definition will be approved by FHWA. In its development by the FHWA Bridge Preservation Expert Task Group (BPETG) it was reviewed and commented on by each of the TSP2 Regional Bridge Partnerships. Consequently, it appears to a have national perspective.
