We, too, have observed the paint peeling off the railing elements of the bridges.

Please know that the underlying steel railings are hot-dip galvanized steel and will not rust. Also, the nuts and bolts that attach the railings to the concrete barrier are made of stainless steel; they will not rust either. Given the federal standards which governed the construction, there is not a warranty on the work. However, our plan is to re-paint the railing sections once enough of the paint has peeled off to warrant re-painting all the railing panels at one time at a later date. This is the most cost-effective manner in which to manage this situation.

Thank you for writing in and sharing your concern.
