The Courier-Herald publishes a Don Brunell column that argues Washington and Oregon officials should have a sense of urgency about replacing the circa 1917 and 1958 Columbia River bridge spans, despite the political risks entailed in backing an expensive infrastructure project, particularly one that involves toll financing.

WUSA reassures a worried viewer that Transurban’s DC express lane cameras are not used to catch or cite speeders. Company spokesman Mike McGurk explains that monitors may alert police if they spot someone driving recklessly, but “[t]hey don’t look for that type of thing as part of their primary duties, it would just be coincidental. After being notified, a trooper would still have to observe the driver committing the behavior in order to issue a ticket.”
