Not sure if you'd call the 37.8 miles near Warden a "big gap" or not.

Right, I guess non-continuous sections might be a better description.

Maintenance issues mostly, for Eastern Washington wildland fires have taken out a number of old bridges. It wasn’t too difficult to re-route around them. (I don’t recall there being any issues with land ownership disputes)

Looking at the map it seems Wyoming is the problem child.

Wyoming was a mixed bag, There were certainly a few long sections in WY that sucked, but that was just the nature of those areas, a kind of barren no man’s land, not a lot of resources, but that also meant not much traffic.
