National Center for Preservation Technology and Training: Rehabilitating historic wrought iron and steel bridges
Rehabilitating historic wrought iron and steel bridges
Historic wrought iron and steel bridges are being replaced at an alarming rate. Those that remain are often rehabilitated using inappropriate techniques or are downgraded for limited highway traffic or pedestrian use. Lansing Community College in Lansing, Mich., is using a PTT Grant to develop and provide training based on modern and historic technologies to address the national need for preservation expertise in preserving historic metal truss structures.
