Title
Historic Bridges of Michigan and Elsewhere
Description
Mission Statement
To provide to the public photos, information, and maps for historic bridges, especially metal truss bridges, in an attempt to share with others their beauty and history, while at the same time revealing the frequent demolition of historic bridges, and suggesting restorative options for historic bridges.
Primary Goals
Historic Bridges of Michigan and Elsewhere is a site dedicated to documenting historic bridges, primarily through photography, but also through research and factual information. A focus is placed on metal truss bridges, as well as Michigan's unique concrete curved-chord through girder bridges. Many other structure types are also featured on this site. This site also aims to provide a resource for others to learn about historic bridges, view photos of them, and perhaps visit them if they still stand. This site also exists to educate the public and raise awareness about the high number of rare, beautiful, and historic bridges that are being thoughtlessly demolished by those who own them, such as road commissions, departments of public works, and departments/ministries of transportation. It seeks to expose a waste of taxpayer dollars that often goes against the wishes of the communities the bridges are in.
Purposes of This Site
1. To raise awareness of historic bridges, and develop a public interest in preserving these bridges, rather than destroying them, through an extensive database of historic bridges located in Michigan and other nearby places.
