SUMMARY: City engineers in Columbus, Mississippi are hopeful that repairs to the Columbus Riverwalk Pedestrian Bridge can begin soon. The bridge was damaged in February 2020 after being hit by a barge, and the city sued to have repairs done. Now that the litigation process is over, Malouf Construction has been chosen for the repair work and has started collecting materials. The city engineer, Kevin Stafford, stated that they are in ongoing conversations with the construction company regarding logistics and scheduling. They aim to have the bridge repaired by the spring of next year.

SUMMARY: The Energy Information Administration predicts most U.S. households will spend the same or less on energy this winter compared to last year. However, colder temperatures are expected, particularly in northern states, potentially increasing gas and electricity costs. States like Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas may see natural gas bills rise by $10 to $15 monthly. Meanwhile, households in states such as Alaska, Utah, and Oregon may save on gas costs. Homes using electricity for heating could see a slight increase of about 2%, with regional variations in natural gas prices anticipated across the country.
