Judge OKs Tamiami Trail bridge to help Everglades
From the article:
"A Miami federal judge has cleared the path for a long-delayed plan for a new long bridge on the Tamiami Trail, an asphalt dam across the River of Grass for nearly 80 years.
U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro lifted an injunction she had issued in November when the Miccosukee Tribe contended that the Army Corps of Engineers hadn't properly studied alternatives to a planned $225 million, one-mile bridge.
Ungaro, in a 10-page order filed Wednesday, wrote that Congress had made it clear in recent months that it wanted work on the bridge to start immediately, by inserting a short clause in a massive spending bill to grant the Corps an extraordinary legal exemption for the project. "
