Answer:

On bridges, corrosion is most often caused when steel is exposed to atmospheric conditions, such as salt, moisture, and oxygen. To prevent corrosion on bridges, transportation agencies apply a protective coating to the steel.

Explanation:

Corrosion is a dangerous and extremely costly problem. Because of it, buildings and bridges can collapse, oil pipelines break, chemical plants leak, and bathrooms flood. General corrosion occurs when most or all of the atoms on the same metal surface are oxidized, damaging the entire surface.
