MDOT must comply with all historic preservation laws and regulations in
the development of our projects. These laws include the National
Historic Preservation Act and the Department of Transportation Act. The
Cultural Resources Office of MDOT works closely with the Federal
Highway Administration, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO),
and the Office of the State Archaeologist, to identify, preserve, and
minimize damage to historic and archaeological sites.
MDOT's Cultural Resources Office is responsible for ensuring MDOT
complies with these laws. The Cultural Resources Office is structured
in accordance with the major categories of Cultural Resource Law, i.e.,
Archaeology and Historic Architecture. A Historic Bridges category is
included because it is uniquely associated with transportation. The
MDOT Cultural Resources Office maintains full service staff with
expertise in all aspects of Cultural Resource protection. Additional
information on each category and other related areas are accessible by
clicking topics to the left, with permanent records and responsibility
resident with the State
Historic Preservation Office.
