Title: Indiana Adopt A Bridge
Post by: rte66man on November 22, 2010, 05:43:48 PM
Found this in today's USA TODAY:

Do other states do this?  Who owns the bridge, the state or the adopter?

The adopter usually ends up owning the bridge - some states require that it be transported to private property at that time.  Michigan has a Historic Bridge Park (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/mi/bridge).
