Program
Victor Vourcos, Advance Project Development Supervisor at the Texas Department of Transportation came back, two years later ,to give us an update on where the project stands. It is now funded, the Environmental Impact Studies presented, Public hearings held and the Access Roads have been chosen.
And Victor assured us, there would be good lightning and that it would look good. A massive project ahead. And the current bridge will then be destroyed.
Betty's Quote of the Day was read by... Betty Frantum!
"He who burns his bridges better be a damn good swimmer"
