📰 News we're reading

• A Literal 'Riverside Drive' (whiznews.com) — Lane closures on State Route 60 and Riverside Drive in McConnelsville could last a while, as unstable riverbanks and multiple road slips await costly repairs. Village officials say at least four problem spots and clogged culverts may require up to $10 million in work, with no clear timeline yet for restoring normal two-way traffic or an easy detour.
