Brown County hears low‑cost rural bridge options from farmer‑funded coalition

Presenters from the Soil Transportation Coalition outlined 20 proven, lower‑cost approaches for short‑span rural bridges — including railroad flatcar bridges, vibratory H‑pile drivers and buried soil structures — and Kansas Soybean representatives said up to $10,000 may be available for pre‑engineering; commissioners agreed to survey bridge foremen and hold a work session to evaluate local projects.
