View Exhibit mapLooking For A Pedestrian or Light Vehicular Bridge?
Whether you are a park, trail organization, college, city, or private landowner, you want your property to be something unique and special. Why settle for a boring, dull pre-fabricated pedestrian bridge when you can get a beautiful historic bridge to do the same thing? Often, a when slated for replacement, historic bridges will be made available for acquisition by a third party. These bridges normally can be acquired free of charge, so use the money you were going to put toward buying that ugly pre-fabricated bridge and instead use it to relocate/restore the historic bridge.
See a bridge you think you might want to acquire? Contact the owner agency, which is listed in the Categories section at the bottom of the bridge's page on BridgeHunter for more information. Not sure how to restore a bridge? Post a question on BridgeHunter.com and someone will get in touch with you. Note: these bridges will likely be demolished if nobody acquires them.
In addition to the list that BridgeHunter.com maintains below, the Historic Bridge Foundation actively maintains a list of all known websites marketing bridges. Click the link below to view their page of available bridges.
