• Abstract:
  "The Management Plan for Historic Bridges in Virginia, completed in 2001 (hereinafter the 2001 Management Plan), ; identified the management and treatment needs for 54 bridges in Virginia that were individually eligible for or listed on the National ; Register of Historic Places and were under state purview. The 2001 Management Plan included a recommendation that the plan be ; reviewed and updated approximately every 10 years. An update to the 2001 Management Plan (and periodic updates thereafter) will ; be required by a pending programmatic agreement regarding the management of cultural resources, including bridges, in Virginia. ; The signatories of this agreement will include the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, the ; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Advisory Council ; on Historic Preservation, and the Virginia State Historic Preservation Officer. ; The current project was the scoping phase of the larger, formal update and entailed collecting information on the current ; status of the 54 bridges, including any major changes to the bridges since the publication of the 2001 Management Plan. Changes ; included major maintenance; rehabilitation work; damage; deterioration; and in a few cases, dismantling or demolition of the ; structure. Of the 54 bridges listed in the 2001 Management Plan, 37 underwent rehabilitation or repair; 1 was severely damaged by ; flooding and its remaining structure was stabilized, but treatment options are still being explored; 1 was dismantled and stored; and 3 ; were demolished in accordance with the recommended treatment (demolition following documentation) in the 2001 Management ; Plan. Although no work on the remaining 12 bridges was recorded, several had undergone rehabilitation before 2000. In the cases ; of bridges for which work was done, nearly all work was in accordance with the recommendations in the 2001 Management Plan. ; Having the updated information regarding the 54 bridges in the 2001 Management Plan in hand will facilitate the next phase ; of this work: the formal update of the 2001 Management Plan for these bridges. It is anticipated that the formal update will include ; enhanced maintenance recommendations as well as updated general management recommendations for these bridges. The current ; status information provided in this report will allow the update of the 2001 Management Plan to proceed in a timely, efficient ; fashion."
