Wharton Overpass Location Reconsidered

Wharton County is deciding this morning on the location of a new overpass for the I-69 project. Some want it at the airport, but others worry this would block a county road and slow down emergency response times. They’re considering a resolution to build the overpass near the airport and the county road to solve this issue. Other matters like a bridge program, a road-use agreement, and a truck purchase will also be discussed at their next meeting.
