46 event. During this same period, other state Departments of Transportation such as Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, Nebraska, Tennessee, Oregon and California were constructing similar bridges and highways in order to keep up with growing traffic on state highways. The steel beam and girder bridges and reinforced concrete bridges constructed during this period by the SRC became a common resource found on every highway in the state and in many other states as well. As a result, SHA does not recommend any of the remaining 286 bridges as eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places Criteria A (events) or C (engineering) because it is our determination that all of these bridges are common, ubiquitous structures.
