SECTIONSIXResults <strong>of</strong> Field InvestigationsTechnology:- Bridges that display the early use <strong>of</strong> technological advances in design andconstruction methods in the postwar era before or immediately concurrent with theformal adoption <strong>of</strong> those standards by a statewide design authority are more likely tobe considered eligible as significant examples <strong>of</strong> innovative design. Other <strong>bridges</strong>,<strong>built</strong> after particular technological methods became accepted standard practices, maybe considered representative examples <strong>of</strong> that design type, but may be less significanton an individual basis.Integrity and type:- Transportation design in Maryland took place on an unprecedented scale in anattempt to correspond to the unrivaled ownership and use <strong>of</strong> automobiles.Accordingly, Maryland features a large number <strong>of</strong> standardized examples <strong>of</strong> bridgetypes. Bridges that are representative <strong>of</strong> typical—or representative—bridge typesmay be individually eligible, but should be scrutinized closely with a strictapplication <strong>of</strong> integrity criteria. There is more likely to be a lower percentage <strong>of</strong> trulysignificant individual examples <strong>of</strong> these popular bridge types than those bridge typesthat are unique or distinctive (and, hence, smaller in the total number <strong>built</strong>).\15-SEP-11\\ 7-5
