Road Work Brings Closures And Delays

Drivers across St. Clair County should expect delays this week as multiple road projects began Monday. Crews are working in Casco, Clyde, Columbus, Cottrellville, Kimball, Lynn, and St. Clair townships with a mix of lane closures and full shutdowns. Several roads, including Rabidue, Turner, and parts of Yale and Vine, will fully close for culvert work. Roundabout construction shuts down Shea Road in Cottrellville. Other areas will see intermittent lane restrictions for paving and maintenance. All work is weather dependent, with detours posted where needed.

Truck Driver Jailed After Cocaine Found

A truck driver heading into Canada is jailed after a major drug bust at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron. Border officers say they found more than 60 kilos of cocaine hidden in two boxes inside the cab, tucked under a bunk during an early morning inspection last Thursday. The shipment was mixed in with a load of wood pallets and cheese powder from Wisconsin. Police say a K9 confirmed the drugs. The 27-year-old driver claims he did not know the cocaine was there. He remains held in the St. Clair County Jail as the investigation continues.
