Notes
  • Significance: The Core Creek Bridge is one of relatively few swing span type bridges that survive at the regional and national level. The once-common swing span type was the only technologically-feasible movable bridge prior to the development of better counterbalancing techniques and improved electrical motors at the end of the nineteenth century. These technological innovations resulted in the development of the modern bascule or vertical lift bridge, which began to replace the wing span type in the United States after 1890. The bridge is also significant for its role in the historical development of local and regional transportation and commerce.
