This afternoon at his weekly municipal meeting, the mayor is expected to announce plans to build a new bridge over Lyons Creek. The bridge will join east and west Hampton. Patterson Construction & Engineering, the company scheduled to design and construct the new structure, spoke to KVB News earlier today. They say the bridge will be orange in color, four lanes in width, and fit in with the new modern theme the city has been trying to achieve.
