Comments
Decatur County Bridge No. 131 is a steel girder bridge constructed in 1912. It is distinguishable when compared with similar structures and retains historic integrity. The bridge is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, but is rated "Non-Select" per the Programmatic Agreement regarding Management and Preservation of Indiana's Historic Bridges (Historic Bridge PA). The status of the bridge is currently "pending," meaning its future is undetermined as the Section 106 historic review process is on-going. Depending on the outcome of Section 106 consultation, interested parties may be able to acquire the bridge. The County is now accepting proposals for the rehabilitation and reuse, or the storage and future reuse of the bridge. Proposals will also be accepted for the salvage of elements that may be stored for future repair of similar historic bridges.
