Flashpoint Aug. 31, 2025: Bridge warnings, road repairs, and streaming highlights

On this Labor Day Weekend edition of Flashpoint, we might as well discuss the roads, since I’m sure so many of you are using a lot of them this weekend. MDOT’S Metro Region representative has a dire warning for drivers on the state of bridges and overpasses. Spoiler: They’re not good. How can they be repaired? Is there enough money to do it? How long will we be driving on these substandard bridges until they are fixed or replaced? We’ll also walk you through our streaming service Local 4+. Not only is it free, it has lots of original programming – and this was Premiere Week! And the four headlines that may have eluded you this week.
