OSCEOLA, Iowa — Warren Bachman lives on a gravel road. When he loads his semi-truck full of corn, he knows he can’t drive it directly two and a half miles to another farm where he has bins because the bridge between those farms has a weight limit due to its age and structural issues. Instead, he has to drive about seven miles to get there.
A bridge near where Warren Bachman farms was built in 1975 with a 20 ton limit. Now it has a 12 ton limit, and he can’t drive his semi over it.
