Historic Bridge Solutions Through Compromise
A presentation addressing the the conflicts
that can arise during projects involving a historic bridge.
HistoricBridges.org created this presentation for the second annual Historic
Bridge Weekend in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2010. It is designed to
provide a series of tips that are intended to help foster cooperation during
the development of a project involving a historic bridge. The tips are
divided into segments, tips for historians/preservationists, tips for
engineers, and tips for agencies. The idea is if everyone can give a little
and take a little, a better end result will be realized.
Historians
and Preservationists might want to view the Historic Bridge Inspection and Documentation
presentation

follow-up to viewing this presentation, since part of the compromise that
preservationists need to work on is understanding the condition and needs of
a historic bridge.
