I was told that a city parish truck towing an excavator on a trailer hit the Airline overpass because the boom was too high. State dotd had to inspect for damage and hire a contractor to fix it. State says that the city is responsible for the damage. Guess what the city says.?

Typical. No one wants to be the adult in the room and fix it, they would rather play hot potato.

A contractor boring for the traffic light synchronization projects snagged scrap steel that was buried under N. 9th St. and Main.
The ensuring steel snag ripped the power cable out for the traffic signals. Those traffic lights belong to city.

Interesting. Thanks for the info!
