  • Visit Ohio's Historic Bridges
    SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Visit Ohio’s Historic Bridges Historic and unique bridges have a way of sticking in our collective memories. Many of us remember the bridge we crossed walking to school, a landmark on the way to visit relatives, the gateway out of town or a welcoming indication that you are back in familiar territory. The Ohio Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Ohio Historic Bridge Association, Ohio History Connection’s State Historic Preservation Office, TourismOhio and historicbridges.org, has assembled a list of stunning bridges across the state that are well worth a journey. Ohio has over 500 National Register-listed and historic bridges, including over 150 wooden covered bridges. The following map features iron, steel and concrete struc- tures, and even a stone bridge built when canals were still helping to grow Ohio’s economy. Some were built for transporting grain to market. Other bridges were specifically designed to blend into the scenic landscape of a state or municipal park. Many of these featured bridges are Ohio Historic Bridge Award recipients. The annual award is given to bridge owners and engineers that rehabilitate, preserve or reuse historic structures. The awards are sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, ODOT and Ohio History Connection’s State Historic Preservation Office. Anthony Wayne Bridge - Toledo, OH Ohio Department of Transportation SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION 2 17 18 SOUTHEAST REGION in eastern Ohio, Columbiana County has Metropark’s Huntington Reservation on the community.

Following the collapse of the Seongsu Bridge, enacting in accordance with established regulations of ≷Misfortune and the safety supervision basic law≸ & ≷Special Act on Safety Management of Building Structures≸, regular safety inspection and diagnosis of routine was enforced. However, the bridge safety accident has remained constant since then, and the bridge safety management system is still insufficient compared to the developed nations. Based on advanced cases of bridge accidents in the developed countries (United States and Japan), this research suggest the best practices of the maintenance system, and development measures are provided to improve the safety management of bridges through governance. These are as follows. Innovation of bridge management policies through Bridge Management System (BMS), strengthen management of bridge safety inspection by expanding national participation, Organization and operation of bridge safety maintenance budget, concentration management of deteriorated bridge and long span bridge etc. In future the establishment of bridges life-cycle management system (LCM) to a preventive maintenance system by means of record management comparing with life-cycle costs (LCC) should be implemented to the comprehensive overall maintenance system of mid to long-term budget formulation and execution by applying professional and active citizen participation procedures.
