THE IDEA IS TO EASE SOME OF THAT CONGESTION ON INTERSTATE 64. DRIVERS HEADED EAST IN THE MORNING AND WEST IN THE EVENING THIS SMOOTH FLOWING STRETCH OF HIGHWAY BECOMES A SLOW-MOVING PARKING LOT. WITH THREE LANES FUNNELING DOWN INTO JUST TWO, DELAYS ARE INVEVITABLE. THE STATE WANTS TO WIDEN THAT 3-POINT-8 MILES OF HIGHWAY TO THREE LANES IN EACH DIRECTION, TAKING CARE OF THE BOTTLENECK AND IMPROVING SAFETY. CONSTRUCTION COULD START IN 2016-- EACH OF THE SEVEN DIFFERENT PROPOSALS ON THE TABLE ALL CARRY A PRICE TAG OF MORE THAN 120 MILLION DOLLARS. ONCE GROUND IS BROKEN IT WILL TAKE ABOUT TWO YEARS TO GET THE JOB DONE.

Riffle was 3rd last year in Class AA, before having to make the jump to AAA this season... Riffle: "We were told we can't do anything. We knew that we had to work hard and that's what we did. Feels good all of this hard work is paying off finally." A beautiful facilty at the Mason County school has benefitted athletes like Riffle. Riffle: "It'rs really done a lot for our track team.
