From page 14...
... As the coke breeze mix did not have the requisite material properties to serve as the riding surface, an overlay of asphalt was placed on top of the coke breeze. Based on the initial success at the Sly Park Bridge, Caltrans installed seven more asphalt–coke breeze overlay cathodic protection systems during 1974 and 1975.

... With the development of the FHWA conductive polymer grout, the number of bridges increased to more than 100 by 1989 (16)
From page 16...
... Unlike the conductive paints, the zinc coating is comparable in color to concrete and requires no decorative overcoat. The second largest application of arc sprayed zinc is the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Oregon (37)
From page 17...
... The mixed metal oxide anode was developed in 1985 and has been used on both bridge decks and substructure elements. FIGURE 17 Yaquina Bay Bridge, Newport, Oregon, has the largest arc-sprayed zinc-impressed current cathodic protection system.

... , and American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) started the Guide Specification for Cathodic Protection of Concrete Bridge Decks in 1989, DP-34 ended.
From page 19...
... The difference in the numbers may be accounted for by cathodic protection systems that have been decommissioned, have failed, or the bridge decks have been replaced. For the state of New Jersey, the NBI database has 22 bridges with a deck cathodic protection system; however, the survey response lists no bridges with cathodic protection systems.

... TABLE 2 USE OF CATHODIC PROTECTION ON VARIOUS BRIDGE COMPONENTS TABLE 3 TYPES OF CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS USED BY RESPONDENTS to have been used on all bridge components by the greatest number of agencies. Arc sprayed zinc was reported as the second most used system.

... Some activity is also underway in India. One of the largest reinforced concrete cathodic protection systems to be installed in the Middle East is the titanium mesh anode system installed in Yanubu, Saudi Arabia, in 1987.
