SAGINAW, MI In the summer of 2013, Barbara A. Roberson laid her youngest son to rest in a Saginaw Township cemetery after he was shot and killed.
Last month, history cruelly echoed itself as Roberson buried her oldest and last remaining son beside her youngest after he too was shot and killed.
“It’s a numb feeling. We’re just numb,” Roberson said, speaking with MLive from her home in Texas, where she moved to from Saginaw County about two years ago. “You don’t even know if you’re feeling.”
Another truck-damaged bridge spanning Interstate 90 is about to come down in western Erie County.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Wednesday morning that the bridge carrying Route 215 over the interstate in Springfield Township will be torn down following a crash on Monday night that damaged the span.
The demolition is expected to begin Wednesday night and continue through Tuesday. Traffic along I-90 eastbound and westbound will be rerouted around the demolition area by using the on- and off-ramps of Route 215. Drivers wishing to exit I-90 at Route 215 should follow the detour signs for the direction they would like to travel, PennDOT reported.
Thousands of new trees coming to Brunner Forest Preserve
Updated 12/15/2020 6:41 PM
The Brunner Forest Preserve will be home to more than 6,000 new trees as part of a revised agreement between Kane County forest district and transportation officials, but it s going to be a while before there any real changes.
The revised plan comes as part of the forest preserve district s decision to not revive the lodge or business operations of the former Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park in Algonquin. An older deal had the district working with Kane County Division of Transportation officials to rebuild the lodge. The deal also included paying the district $500,000 in exchange for allowing KDOT to dump excess soil from the Longmeadow Parkway project at the Raging Buffalo site to redo the ski and sledding slopes.
