ODOT's 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. You can also contact Scott Sundermeyer at 405.325.7201 for more information. 

If you are interested in completing a proposal for a historic bridge listed below or seen in a recent press release, please click here. 

Information on bridges that have been successfully adopted can be found here.
