Reinforced-Concrete Highway Bridges in Minnesota MPS

Last updated

Reinforced-Concrete Highway Bridges in Minnesota MPS is a Multiple Property Submission of bridges listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Minnesota. The submission includes 20 individual bridges. It also includes the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Grade Separation, which comprises 30 bridges built over the Milwaukee Road tracks one block north of Lake Street in Minneapolis. [1] The submission traces the historical context of reinforced concrete bridge building in Minnesota and cites examples of early and historic bridges. [2]

The submission establishes criteria for bridges to be listed on the National Register. The National Register contains four primary criteria:

The MPS also documents several eras that were important in reinforced-concrete bridge construction:

The Franklin Avenue Bridge and the Mendota Bridge are listed in the MPS as examples of monumental concrete arch bridge construction, but these bridges were listed on the National Register before the MPS was submitted.
