FDOT -- US 301 Reopened

A new U.S. 301 bridge over Brandy Branch North was opened to traffic on July 6 at 5 p.m. ending a nine-day closure of the roadway between US 90 in Baldwin and Bryceville in southwestern Nassau County. The speed limit is reduced to 45 mph over the temporary steel bridge. The bridge is posted at 80,000 pounds and no overweight loads are allowed. The bridge will stay in place until a new concrete span is opened as U.S. 301 is being widened to four-lanes for 17 miles from north of Baldwin in Duval County to south of Callahan in Nassau County. A 13-mile detour had been in place since early June 27 after the 72-year old bridge was washed out by floodwaters from Tropical Storm Debby. PAGE A-6 THE STAR JULY 14, 2012 ENTERTAINMENT

It is that time of year again where I personally select favorites for my TOP TEN LIST OF HOLLYWOOD’S MOST TALENTED YOUTH!

As with every year, my hat goes off in a major salute to the parents of these exceptional young artists who have made untold sacrifices well beyond what many parents would be willing to make such as pulling up stakes and moving the entire family to LA or whatever else it took for their child or children to make it in the biz. The ten winners selected are without question the best of the best! They too have sacrificed, trained hard, done without and burned gallons of the midnight oil it took to get to where they are and they are just getting started!
