Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department's Historic Bridge Management System
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) developed a Historic Bridge Management System (HBMS). HBMS utilizes innovative GIS technologies to effectively manage the AHTD Historic Bridge Inventory and enhance mitigation during historic bridge replacement processes.
AHTD developed HBMS to centralize its historic bridge data using GIS technology, monitor and analyze trends in distribution and replacement of AHTD's historic bridges, improve marketing of historic bridges, and enhance mitigation techniques used during the historic bridge replacement process. Using HBMS, AHTD can easily locate historic bridges on maps and interpret each bridge's landscape. HBMS also includes documents for each bridge, such as National Register of Historic Places nomination forms, related Section 4(f) and other programmatic agreements, and other materials.
