12.3 Historically Significant Bridges

12.3.1 Reference for Procedures

Historically significant bridges command importance and a place in the engineering and cultural heritage of this nation. Federal law requires these bridges be given special consideration, where practical and feasible, toward their preservation in the course of bridge replacement or bridge rehabilitation/improvement projects.
Reference can be made to TxDOT’s for procedures that should be used when developing projects that involve historic bridges.
