Good morning, Union County. Summer 2025 is bringing a perfect storm of roadwork across our area, with closures and detours reshaping daily commutes through next year. U.S. 42 southbound shuts down starting July 8, joining the already-closed State Route 736 and the long-term U.S. 33 ramp project. Consider these orange cones your unofficial summer mascots as navigation apps earn their keep helping motorists find alternate routes.
While infrastructure transforms outside, Marysville City Council tackles important business inside chambers tonight at 7 p.m., including a $1.4 million note issuance for city improvements. The community also prepares to honor Christine Moder, whose 32 years of dedicated service to Marysville's mayors came to a close on July 9. Her legendary Christmas decorations and warm hospitality left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know the woman behind 47 years of beautiful memories.
