How does transportation architecture consider historical landmarks?

Transportation architecture considers historical landmarks by respecting and preserving them as important cultural heritage sites. When planning and designing transportation infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and train stations, architects and designers must take into account the impact of their work on these historic landmarks. This may involve constructing structures that do not obstruct the view of the landmarks, taking measures to minimize vibrations, and using materials and colors that blend in with the surrounding environment. Additionally, the transportation designers must conduct research to understand the history and significance of these landmarks and ensure that their work does not damage them. In some cases, transportation architecture may even aim to incorporate or highlight the historical landmarks within their designs, creating a harmonious relationship between the new and the old.
