Interstate fix, bridge needed and more letters to the editors

Interstate fix, bridge needed

When will the much-needed widening at the 24/75 split happen to make the commute to downtown easier? With more neighborhoods being built in Ooltewah and more wrecks on I-75 involving 18-wheelers, it is a necessity!

And when will a much-needed bridge be built across the lake from Harrison/Birchwood to Hixson/Soddy? This would relieve a lot of traffic and give another way to downtown that is less traveled instead of an hour drive around to the other side.

Yet $10 million was spent on sidewalks on Highway 58 that no one uses.

Who makes these decisions?
