The Changing Face of Transportation

   

  

Happy August!

 

School starts next week.  Hard to believe, isn't it?  In honor of going back to school, here are a few quotes about the subject:

 

"If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers." -Edgar W. Howe

 

"Schoolteachers are not fully appreciated by parents, until it rains all day Saturday." -E.C. Mckenzie

 

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." -Henry Brooks Adams

 

"Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day.  It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken." -Bill Dodds

 

So sharpen those pencils, pick up a new box of crayons (hopefully more than the 8 that I got), and be prepared to fill out paperwork for hours each night.

Joint Kentucky-Indiana bridge project singled out for transportation award
 

An innovative, joint project by Kentucky and Indiana to replace a deteriorating Ohio River bridge with minimal disruption of river navigation and cross-river traffic has been singled out for a prestigious transportation award.

The Milton-Madison Bridge project, which resulted in a modern, four-lane bridge connecting Milton, Kentucky and Madison, Indiana, was declared a regional winner in the America's Transportation Awards competition.  The award was presented today at the annual meeting of Southern Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (SASHTO) in Nashville, TN.
