PHOENIX – Wildlife biologists at Arizona Game and Fish have launched a statewide spring adoption drive to find homes for Sonoran Desert Tortoises that have been abandoned or illegally bred in captivity.

Second bridge brings new traffic dynamics

BULLHEAD CITY – Traffic patterns are sure to change when the second bridge linking Bullhead City with Laughlin over the Colorado River opens in the near future. Southern Nevada neighbors may use the structure to reach the retail concentration in the vicinity of the Anderson Auto Field House and beyond. “It’s going to immediately take a big portion of the Laughlin traffic and move it in that direction, probably for shopping,” said Bullhead City Manager Toby Cotter. “People may find it easier to go to Target and CVS and other places by coming down the Needles Highway to the new…
