  • Opportunity to Comment on FHWA Program Comment for Post-1945 Bridges

    Apr 10, 2013

    At the request of the FHWA, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has issued a Program Comment that will eliminate individual historic review requirements under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for common post-1945 concrete and steel bridges and culverts. This new Program Comment applies to effects of undertakings on certain common concrete and steel bridges lacking distinction, not previously listed or determined eligible for listing on the National Register, and not located in or adjacent to historic districts. It makes no findings regarding the historic significance of the bridges included under its terms, but goes directly to treatment for these types of bridges which in any case are not likely to be preserved in place. The Program Comment also obligates FHWA to carry out certain programmatic mitigation to address the potential loss of some historic bridges under its terms. Interested parties at invited to participate in a conference call/meeting to provide recommendations about post-1945 concrete and steel bridges and culverts having exceptional significance. The meeting will be held on May 2 at 10:00 AM in Harrisburg, PA. Please read the full details after the jump.
