Paving Buckles Up In Mills County
In Mills County on Lincoln Avenue, a hot Thursday afternoon caused pavement to buckle and rise nearly four feet in front of the Max Dashner residence. Nearby, river-improvement work on the Nishna River near the Highway 34 bridge continues with contractor Bill Murphy of Des Moines shifting the river channel and dismantling old bridge remnants. The crew appears methodical rather than hurried to casual observers.
