Good morning, Union County. Buckle up for some significant traffic changes ahead—U.S. 42 southbound is closing between SR 745 and U.S. 33 starting this week until Fall 2025, while SR 736 shut down Monday for a 120-day bridge replacement project. These major infrastructure updates might test your patience and navigation skills, but established detours should help ease the transition. Remember to stay alert and reduce speed when passing through construction zones.

Meanwhile, flu season preparation is underway with a convenient drive-thru vaccination clinic scheduled for October 17 at the fairgrounds—offering everything from regular flu shots to high-dose options for seniors, with most insurance plans accepted and a sliding fee scale available.
