Historic Structures

TxDOT is creating an inventory of transportation facilities built by federal works relief programs during the Great Depression. We have identified 2,500 masonry features in highway rights of way and have developed interpretative markers for 39 historic roadside parks.

An even larger project is in progress to document historic bridges. More than 1,300 truss and suspension bridges have been surveyed, with 270 documented as historically significant. A second phase is to inventory 11,000 concrete, masonry and other types of older historic bridges. This work has allowed us to serve as a statewide clearinghouse for information on historic bridges and we plan to publish an illustrated history of historic Texas bridges that will be available to the public.
