Spans in Time

Spans in Time handsomely showcases the results of a statewide inventory of historic bridges funded by the Federal Highway Administration and completed in 1991 by two firms, Fraser Design of Loveland, Colorado, and Hess, Roise and Company of Minneapolis. The book presents a brief history of Nebraska bridges, derived from a historic overview prepared by Charlene K. Roise and adapted for publication by Clayton B. Fraser. There then follow an appendix consisting of a partial list of Nebraska bridge builders and contractors, endnotes, a select inventory of historic bridges arranged alphabetically by county, and, finally, a small section titled "Other Bridges." (Briefly described but not illustrated, these presumably fall into that gray area between "notable" and "significant," although this is not explained in the text.)
