Description

Michigan’s historic highway bridges are swiftly being torn down and replaced as they deteriorate or grow to be unable to give a boost to increased traffic volumes and a lot. Whilst the state has the responsibility of providing secure bridges, historian Charles K. Hyde maintains that the state will have to also preserve many of these remaining historic structures to insure that future generations will have them to view and appreciate.

In Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan, Hyde identifies Michigan’s historically significant highway bridges inside the broader contexts of American bridge design and construction within the 19th and 20th centuries. The book summarizes the improvement of highway bridge design in the USA and compares Michigan’s experiences with national trends.

To aid the reader interested in visiting the historic highway bridges of Michigan, regional maps show the location of bridges included within the text.
