Hawkins County Is Moving Forward With Repairs To The Goshen Valley Bridge Using Funds From The County’s Wheel Tax.The Hawkins County Commission Voted To Allocate $1.5 Million From The Wheel Tax Revenue, Previously In The General Fund, To Cover The Necessary Repairs. The Decision Came After It Was Revealed That Property Tax Funds Were Earmarked For Other Uses. The Bridge, Which Scored Just 6 Out Of 100 In A TDOT Report, Has Been A Significant Concern, With Emergency Responders And School Buses Rerouting Due To Safety Issues. The County Hopes The Repairs Will Increase The Bridge’s Weight Limit, Allowing Safe Use Until Full Replacement Funding Is Secured.
