Nick:
It is great that you met Willie. Many Kansas bridges are being transferred back to landowners. This "Reverse Eminent Domain" process is forcing half collapsed bridges back on landowners. If Willie knows landowners who want bridges saved, we would love to work with them. Keep making these contacts!
