Along 66, Jan. 2019: U.S. Congress Fails to Act and the Gasconade Bridge

JANUARY  5--  Congress failed to pass two Route 66-related bills.  One was the Route 66 National Historic Trail Designation Act and the other was the Route 66 Centennial Commission Act.

I am not clear as to why these would not easily pass.  Seems to be a win-win situation to me.

JANUARY 8--  The Gasconade River Bridge Guardians (Missouri) have collected enough donations to help pay for an engineer study of the bridge.  This may help to find a new owner.

So happy we were able to cross it several times before it was closed.

Guess Congress Was Too Busy Fighting the Shutdown.  --RoadDog
