SUMMARY: Repairs are set to begin on a bridge in Oaha County that has been closed for two years. The legislative session ended last week and funding has been secured for the unsafe bridge on Morgantown Road. Residents have had to take a 30-minute detour since the closure, impacting their daily commute to work and school. State funds have been secured, but more funding is needed to fully repair the bridge. County leaders are planning to petition for additional money from Washington. In related news, legislation in honor of a local young man who took his life is also being addressed by representatives in Oaha County.

SUMMARY: Construction is underway on a major highway expansion project in Union County that aims to widen a 5-mile stretch of Highway 15 to a four-lane highway by spring 2027. While the project will ultimately make commutes easier and safer for drivers, the current construction is causing headaches and delays for those using the highway. The project is being funded through federal transportation grants and state money. Despite some frustrations from drivers about the current roadwork, many are looking forward to the completion of the project and the improved traffic flow it will bring.
