  • 1 9/98 Rev. HISTORIC CONTEXT for TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS
    9/98 rev. HISTORIC CONTEXT FOR TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS IN PENNSYLVANIA Introduction To assist with establishing the significance of the historical background of bridge building in Pennsylvania, it is important to identify and understand the historic contexts associated with the resources. Bridges do not stand in isolation, historically or physically; they embody events and trends that need to be considered when evaluating their individual or collective historical significance. Historic contexts organize historic properties in terms of theme, place, and time, and only within a historic context can what is significant “be determined in relationship to the historic development from which it emerged and in relationship to a group of similar associated properties” (National Register Bulletin 16, 1986: 6-7). In order to evaluate the National Register eligibility of the pre-1956 bridge population in Pennsylvania historic contexts have been researched and prepared twofold: one on the history of transportation networks in Pennsylvania, and the second on the application of bridge technology within the state. Both contexts address transportation issues from the earliest days of settlement to the 1950s, and both set the bridges within the national, state, and local contexts. The historic contexts will provide a means of evaluating each bridge’s technological significance, and its relationship to Pennsylvania’s transportation systems. Based on the historic contexts and their application to National Register criteria, each bridge in the inventory will be evaluated on its own merits with the contexts identifying the crucial distinctions of significance to pools of similar resources. 1. Overview Bridges are best understood as integral parts of transportation networks that carry people, vehicles, and materials over natural barriers such as rivers and streams, and over manmade barriers such as railroads, canals, and roads.
