The National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation (NHCBP) program administered by the Federal Highway Administration since 2000 has included preservation, rehabilitation and restoration of covered bridges; and research, education and technology transfer. The program has provided opportunity to save many of our covered bridges from destruction by providing funds for restoration; and through research, education and technology transfer, develop better means to preserve, educate and inform the community. For the period from 2000 to 2012, more than 200 bridges in 24 States, and over 50 individual research projects have been funded. This paper will provide an overview of the NHCBP program over this year period. |
