## Resource

Four critical bridges on Highway 90 in Louisiana and Mississippi, shut down for over four years, could soon get a lifeline thanks to a potential $50 million federal grant — enough to cover nearly half the cost of replacing century-old structures. This vital evacuation route, crucial during emergencies like Katrina, is still months away from reopening, but state officials are urging locals to attend public meetings in October to voice support. With both states still footing part of the bill, the fate of this key transportation link hangs in the balance — with a decision expected by November.
