190th Rd. reopens

Closed since August for safety concerns, 190th Rd. between Pawnee and Old Mill Rds. reopened today, restoring the well-used alternative route between Marion and Hillsboro.

Excessive erosion of the north bank of the Cottonwood River adjacent to the road caused county officials to close the route, forcing motorists to use US-56 while a solution was sought and implemented.
