You do? Well it just so happens that it’s your lucky day–King County is trying to get the Mount Si bridge off of its hands. Built in 1914 to span the White River in Buckley, it was moved in 1955 to Mt. Si to replace a small wooden bridge[Times]. But now it’s too narrow for the volume of traffic it receives, and that makes this the perfect time to get an unforgettable gift for the bridge enthusiast in your life.

You’d have to move it yourself, but that shouldn’t be too hard; it’s held together with steel pins, rather than the usual bolts and rivets. (Makes you rethink all those times you drove across it, doesn’t it?) It’s the only one of its kind left that is maintained by the county, and all you’ll need to put it back together is probably an allen wrench and perhaps some new custom pins to replace the old rusty ones.

It’s a landmark, so the county has to try and find it a home before selling it for scrap, and if you’re a governement agency they’ll be willing to work out an agreement with you so that you can have it with no cost. I’m just not sure how you could possibly pass this up.
