Recent rains blew out a bridge we used to access a timber property. Two agencies (resource board...) took a look and essentially said FU. One was supposed to represent ag land. It’s going to cost several hundred k and they’re not going to do jack even though the trees that dammed the bridge came from the blow out of a county (poorly) maintained road four miles up stream.

My friend and his two neighbors just paid over $400,000 to build a bridge that was washed away in a bad storm. FEMA declared the county a disaster and my friend applied for help. They rejected to help financially but forced them to build a bridge on his one lane driveway that was as strong as one you see on the interstate. This bridge is not for a driveway. The river was small but the government made them build a bridge you see on the highway. The construction company built a temporary bridge with 15 railroad ties. This temp bridge held triaxle dump trucks full of dirt and a huge excavator. They built it in 5 hours. The big bridge took over 6 months.
