Pictured here are two of Colorado's
historic bridges identified for replacement.
At left: the 1926 Baseline Bridge which
crosses the South Platte River about eight
miles northwest of Brighton in Adams coun-
ty (240' x 19' 2" wide) . At right: the Una

HISTORIC BRIDGES MAY BE
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
"Adopt-a-Bridge?" That's not the program's official name, but a number of
historic bridges in Colorado are available for reuse. They are free, but new users
of the bridges must pay for their relocation.
Last year the Colorado Department of Highways sponsored a statewide historic
bridge survey, which was conducted by Fraser-design, a preservation-oriented con-
sulting firm based in Loveland. About 550 bridges on state, county and city high-
ways were evaluated for historical and engineering significance. Of these, 65 bridges
were determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places.
Nine steel truss bridges, of the 65, .are currently funded for replacement or
rehabilitation. They range from 50 feet to 360 feet in length. They could be used
