Description:
The Utah historic bridge context discusses the development of bridge and culvert design and construction in Utah from statehood through 1965 of the context builds upon a previous historic overview completed for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) covering Utah bridge history from settlement to 1945. The prewar context incorporates information provided in the historic overview by Fraser and supplements this information with additional material regarding state and federal transportation funding, the founding and development of the Utah State Road Commission and the major trends in bridge and culvert construction in the period prior to World War II. The historic overview identifies historic themes to assist in the identification and evaluation of bridges for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. To accomplish this, the historic context identifies national and statewide events and trends in roadway development, bridge design, and construction, and provides descriptions of the physical features of bridge types based on national trends in bridge building and an analysis of bridge types in Utah through 1965. The historic context is based on research conducted at UDOT, the Utah Department of Administrative Services Division of Archives & Record Services (Utah State Archives), and the University of Utah Marriott Library in Salt Lake City.
