I think you sharpened this a bit too much. I also think a tighter crop in on the center would look more effective.

Nicely done! Your headline works well with the photo.

Nice colors and take on the assignment. Seems a bit tilted. One of my pet peeves for newspapaers is poor spelling - so if you are trying to make it look "real" by mis-spelling the headline, Good Job!

I think you need a proofreader next time you submit. LOL!

This is a good effort. The subject has relevence and the headline is factual and to the point (one of the few I've come across so far). Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really make that much of an impact. A traffic jam, indicating the need for the new highway would add immediacy to the story. As it is, it doesn't look like the delayed construction is causing problems for anyone. A photo for a story like this should reveal some kind of conflict or tension and I'm just not seeing it here.

Work on your spelling and you'll have a winner! (don't worry i didn't take away points for it)
