Cultural Resources

The Cultural Resources Program assists the Department in determining and identifying the presence of structures and areas of historic and/or archaeological significance associated with transportation projects. This program requires constant coordination with historic agencies at the local, state and federal levels. Once areas of concern have been identified, the program personnel and concerned parties make recommendations for the protection and/or mitigation of these culturally significant sites.
