PRESERVATION NEWS UPDATE: The Wainiha Bridges, listed on the 2007 Most Endangered Historic Places list, were demolished in 2010 as a result of structural failure from overloaded vehicles exceeding the bridge weight limit. (Click here to read more about their Most Endangered listing.) Three temporary bridges currently replace them as the re-design project is completed. The community is encouraged to attend a public meeting to hear more about rehabilitation efforts and provide feedback and input. The bridges are located on historic Route 560 from Princeville to Kee which is on the National Register of Historic Places and the intention is for the re-design to incorporate the look of the old historic bridges. Meeting details below.
