Ohio Bridge Case: county urged to file appropriation suit
Shelby Hutchins, chief counsel for the Ohio attorney general, proposes a county appropriation suit to take over two bridges, Frost Bridge on County Road 58 and a Federal Creek bridge on County Road 85, to resolve a $60,566 unpaid bill after an injunction halted county payment and a bid process. The company could be paid by court decision while allowing reuse of materials if necessary.

City Opposes Closing Richland Avenue Over Flood Threat
Safety Director Dwight Robinson said the city would oppose any closure of Richland Avenue to ease a flood risk on the Hocking River. He noted moving utilities and detouring 10,000 cars daily, with 5,000 on Union Street, would create major service disruptions. The Corps of Engineers proposed a detour around the bridge project due to ice and a bottleneck near the new hospital.
