Highway 269 to Huron to get a major upgrade

HURON, Calif. (KFSN) -- In January, a section of Highway 269, also known as Lassen Avenue, was shut down for several days after a levee broke and flooded the roadway.

On Thursday, State Assembly Member Doctor Joaquin Arambula, was able to secure $18-million dollars in state highway funds. That money will be matched by $10-million dollars in local funds to construct a brand new bridge along Highway 269.
