Flooded roads highlight La Salle county transport dilemma
In a Saturday feature from Cally the flooded streams between Lureuo and San Antonio cripple travel as hard surfaced roads hold up while gravel routes wash out. The Frio River swells and blocks Derby, with 40 miles of unpaved La Salle County highway becoming impassable in heavy rain. Proposals to fund upgrades cite state and federal aid and long term benefits for tourism and settlement, amid protests from affected communities. The piece also notes a campaign to rebuild the USS Constitution as a peace tribute, highlighting naval history and national pride.
