The bridge at MP 12.02 was <br />likely constructed within the C&W Railroad’s <br />period of significance circa 1900 and <br />appears to have been refurbished circa <br />1951 as part of a major rehabilitation of the <br />railroad corridor. The bridge retains sufficient <br />integrity to be considered a contributing <br />feature to the C&W Railroad’s NRHP <br />eligibility under Criteria A. <br /> 5LA.7112.14 Historic <br />Structure <br />C&W Railroad, Concrete Slab <br />Bridge at MP 17.71 <br />Not Individually Eligible <br />Contributing Feature of the C&W RR: the <br />bridge at MP 17.71 was previously recorded <br />and determined NRHP eligible; however, <br />because there are no forms on file in <br />Compass for the resource, it is unknown if <br />the bridge was previously determined <br />individually NRHP eligible or as a <br />contributing element of the NRHP-eligible <br />C&W Railroad.
