The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is working with a task group to develop a statewide, comprehensive historic bridge program for Indiana. Many in Indiana appreciate the value of historic bridges and their importance to Indiana's cultural heritage. Over the years, the population of historic bridges in Indiana has dwindled causing great concern for the future of these resources. The program will ultimately prioritize a list of bridges for preservation, using a statewide survey of historic bridges remaining in Indiana, and provide incentives for bridge owners to preserve some historic bridges. This web page will serve to keep individuals and organizations interested in this program updated on its progress and provide the opportunity for anyone to provide comments throughout the program's development.
