Spooky season is upon us and Washington County's favorite zombie project is back: the proposed Northern Corridor Highway.

In early October, the Trump administration directed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to revisit an application from the Utah Department of Transportation for this four-lane highway through the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) near St. George.
