“An individual landowner might want a unique stream crossing
for his or her private driveway.”

It’s November, and to a lot of people that means only one thing: let the Christmas shopping season begin. If you’re looking for a unique gift for that hard-to-buy-for someone on your list, Kentucky has a sweet deal for you: a 450-foot steel bridge, for free. The truss bridge, built in 1929 near Combs, Kentucky (population 170), is being replaced with a modern structure next year. Instead of demolishing the aging bridge, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, Kentucky and the Federal Highway Administration are looking for a good home for it. They’ll even deconstruct, pack up, and ship the bridge, but the recipient must promise to reconstruct the bridge and retain its original character. If interested, don’t dawdle. This offer is good only until December 20.
