Clermont County to Get 20 New Bridges Statewide
Ohio officials announce surveying for twenty new bridges in Clermont County and other towns including Batavia and Williamsburg. The plan aims to replace aging spans with modern concrete and steel structures funded by the state, with local labor favored for construction. The McChesney reunion drew nearly a hundred at Tyler’s Island Batavia under beech trees with music, games, and a large picnic. Sam Hodges of New Richmond is praised as the greatest solitaire player, with a playful note about a London invitation for tips.
