LinkLinks Washington Post: A Supreme Court justice hiked 185 miles to save Washington’s C&O Canal from becoming a highway By Editor On Oct 17, 2021 Last updated Oct 17, 2021 110 Share A provision in the bipartisan congressional infrastructure bill earmarks $1 billion for “reconnecting neighborhoods” torn apart by interstate highways.

The bill aims to fund the demolition of obstructive highways and mend communities. 110 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
