Adopt-a-Bridge Program

Did you know that ODOT has historic bridges available for free? The bridges shown below are available for relocation. ODOT's Historic Bridge Marketing Program provides an alternative to demolition of the Oklahoma’s historic bridges when they are replaced by safer structures. The bridges have been determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, in most cases because they are representative of certain types of steel truss bridges. Many of the smaller truss bridges are ideal for light pedestrian use along trails or in public parks. Additional information on ODOT's bridge marketing program can be found in this Preservation Oklahoma News article from January 2013.

For some ODOT projects, impacts on historic bridges are unavoidable and the department needs the help of its consulting partners and the public to identify ways to mitigate those impacts. The following link highlights some mitigation successes with historic structures.
