Needed: New owner for Perry County bridge

http://www.kentucky.com/2011/10/25/1933589/needed-new-owner-for-perry-county.html

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is looking for a new owner for an 82-year-old, 456-foot, three-span steel bridge.

The bridge, over the north folk of the Kentucky River in Perry County on Ky. 80, is set to be replaced next year. Through a new program, the cabinet is willing to give the 1929 bridge, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, to a new owner rather than demolish it.

H.B. Elkins, public information officer for the Kentucky Department of Highways District 10, said the cabinet would pay for marking the bridge, disassembling it and transporting it to a new site. The new owner would have to pay all other costs, including reassembling and maintaining the bridge.

Elkins said the department has tried in recent years to give away historic bridges in Mercer and Perry counties, but there were no takers.
