SUMMARY: Construction on the M Avenue interchange has been ongoing for 10 months, with significant progress being made.

Contractors are currently tying rebar for the bridge and will soon begin pouring concrete. The overpass is set to be completed in August, but other infrastructure improvements in the area will continue. Once roadways are finished, motorists will be allowed to use traditional ramp systems.

WLOX Digital Desk with Hugh Keeton (05/08/2024)
SUMMARY: This content discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Meditation can help regulate emotions, improve concentration, and enhance overall well-being. It activates the body's relaxation response, reducing the production of stress hormones and lowering blood pressure. Regular meditation practice can rewire the brain to be more resilient to stress and increase cognitive function. Mindfulness meditation, in particular, encourages staying present and focusing on the moment, which can prevent rumination and negative thought patterns. Overall, meditation is a powerful tool for promoting mental health and emotional balance.
