NOTE ON THE DIVIDERS

The major sections of this document are divided by drawings of early bridge railing designs in Oregon from the turn of the century to the late 1930s. In addition to being functional, bridge railings provide an opportunity for adding artistic treatment to structures and contribute to the aesthetic appeal of structures. In some cases, the railing is the only feature of a bridge readily seen by the traveler and often only in a brief glimpse during the crossing. Railing designs have changed over time, in conjunction with changes in bridge technology, materials, styles, taste, and safety. Some designs were created specifically for one bridge, while others were standardized and used on hundreds of bridges. (Drawings by George Kraus, ODOT.)
