Stephens County and the Texas Department of Transportation announced today, Dec. 27, that both entities hope to have the US 180 bridge that crosses over Hubbard Creek Lake, known locally as “Mile Long Bridge,” open before classes resume for Breckenridge ISD.
Stephens County is set to achieve a first in the state of Texas. When Stephens County Judge Michael Roach begins to hear misdemeanor cases in January, the county will also become the first rural county in the state to host a mental health court. Roach spoke to the Rotary Club of Breckenridge Tuesday, Dec. 19 to give an update on the county. According to the Texas Judicial Commission of Mental Health, only 23 counties have a recognized mental health court program with some counties having more than one program.
The US 180 bridge, also known as “Mile Long Bridge,” crossing Hubbard Creek Lake will be closed to all traffic for several weeks, following an emergency inspection by the Texas Department of Transportation.
