  • 4 killed in 30-vehicle crash on I-25 during wind-blown ‘brown out’ in southern Colorado

    [ad_1]

    Four people were killed and 29 injured in a Tuesday morning crash on Interstate 25 in southern Colorado involving more than 30 vehicles, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

    Heavy winds blew dirt across I-25 south of Pueblo around 10 a.m., causing “brown out” conditions along the interstate, state patrol officials said.

    “Visibility was next to nothing,” Maj. Brian Lyons of the Colorado State Patrol said.

    As of 4 p.m., northbound I-25 remained closed between exit 91 for Stem Beach and Colorado 45 in Pueblo, near milemarker 94, according to state transportation officials. The interstate’s southbound lanes were cleared and reopened around 2:30 p.m..

    The northbound lanes will remain closed “for an extended period of time” as the crash cleanup and investigation continue, state patrol officials said in an afternoon update.

    Colorado State Patrol troopers responded to the pile-up crash on northbound I-25 involving commercial trucks and passenger cars about two miles south of Pueblo at 10:02 a.m. Tuesday, according to the state patrol. When troopers arrived, they also found a secondary crash in the southbound lanes.

    Together, the two crashes involved more than 30 vehicles, including six semitrailers, and four people were confirmed dead, state patrol officials said.

    The fatalities and injuries all occurred in the large crash in the northbound lanes, state patrol officials said. The crash in the southbound lanes only resulted in damage to vehicles.

    Paramedics took 29 people injured in the crash to hospitals, state patrol officials said. The extent of their injuries is unknown. Another 10 uninjured people remained on scene after the crash.

  • ‘Roads will be dangerous’: TX toll lanes expected to close during winter storm

    Officials say they are taking steps to prepare North Texas’ roads, including toll lanes, as ice and snow is expected to sweep the region Friday and Saturday.

    “Roads will be dangerous,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams, speaking about travel across the state.

    Preparing North Texas roads for ice, possible toll closures

    State officials and North Tarrant Express, which manages toll roads in the Fort Worth area, say they have been treating roadways for ice.

    Divers may see lane closures on toll roads, but timing hasn’t been announced. North Tarrant Express hasn’t announced lane closures, but is set to meet with state officials Thursday afternoon to “determine the exact time to close the express lanes,” spokesperson Robert Hinkle said in a Thursday morning email.

    Updates will be shared on social media, he said.

    ❄️🌡️ Winter storm in North Texas:

    Williams joined Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and other state officials at a Thursday news conference to update the public on steps the state is taking to prepare for the storm. Much of the state is expected to be affected by the winter weather.

    “The DFW area has been a very significant area of focus for not only the Texas Department of Public Transportation, but also all of the local agencies and some of the toll road operators that also maintain roadways,” Williams said. “So very importantly, we coordinate within those agencies and collaborate on the process for treating those roads.”

    Roadways have been treated with a brine solution made of salt and water. When ice or snow accumulate, the mixture helps to speed up the melting process, Williams said.

    Hinkle said North Tarrant Express’ road crews are finishing up brining cycles on its roadways Thursday morning.

    “We will then switch the trucks to salt and begin patrolling and treating Friday morning,” Hinkle said.

    Williams cautioned drivers that brining roads does not prevent all ice, describing it as a “preventative measure, not a prohibitive measure.”

    He urged drivers to pay attention to variable speed limits, which can be dropped to adjust for hazardous road conditions. Williams also said road closures are expected.

    “For a lot of the roads in the DFW area, especially some of the toll roads or some of the contraflow lanes, one of the things that we often do and anticipate doing is, we will shut those down during these events,” Williams said. “Because, quite frankly, without as many people being on the roads, those aren’t as needed.”

    The safest option is to avoid driving altogether, Williams said.

    “Any amount of ice is a dangerous amount of ice,” he said. “Any amount of frozen participation on our roads is a dangerous amount of frozen participation, even with our efforts to pretreat roads and be prepared to help respond in those instances.”

    Willams urged those who must drive to slow down, increase space between vehicles, break slowly and to be aware of falling limbs and power lines. Vehicles should be stocked with fuel, food, water and blankets, in case of long delays due to road closure, he said. Drivers should also be mindful of crews working on roads.

  • 4 children, 1 adult injured in head-on crash on U.S. 285 in Colorado mountains

    [ad_1]

    Four children and a woman were injured Tuesday afternoon in a crash that temporarily shut down U.S. 285 in Colorado’s mountains, according to the state patrol.

    Colorado State Patrol troopers responded to a three-car crash on U.S. 285 near Bailey at about 1 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release from the agency.

    A 2017 Kia and a 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan crashed head-on into each other on the highway, and then a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe hit the two, state patrol officials said.

    Paramedics took four children of unknown ages and an unidentified woman to hospitals, according to the release. The children were taken “as a precautionary measure,” but the woman had what first responders believed were serious injuries.

    No other injuries were reported by state patrol officials.

    U.S. 285 was shut in both directions shortly after the crash, a closure that ran from Bulldogger Road to Roland Valley Drive, about 11 miles south of Aspen Park, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. The highway’s southbound lanes reopened at about 2 p.m., and the northbound lanes reopened at 2:30 p.m., according to the agency.

    Information on the cause of the crash was not available Tuesday.

    “Get ready for an unforgettable night at the Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade,” the event website says. Here’s what to know before you go:

    This year’s parade starts at the intersection of Tryon and 9th Streets and ends at Good Samaritan Way.

    Broadway Bridge Open Span, Courtesy Multnomah County

    PORTLAND, Ore. — One of Portland’s key river crossings is shutting down for months. Beginning Monday, Oct. 13, the Broadway Bridge will close to all vehicle traffic as Multnomah County begins a six-month deck replacement project.

    Crews will remove the deteriorating bridge deck, built in 1913, and replace it with new steel panels and streetcar tracks designed to extend the bridge’s lifespan and improve reliability.

    The closure, scheduled through April 11, 2026, will affect drivers, TriMet riders, and streetcar service. TriMet’s Line 17 will reroute over the Steel Bridge, while Portland Streetcar passengers should expect up to 40-minute delays as routes shift to Tilikum Crossing.

    The south sidewalk will remain open to pedestrians, cyclists, and mobility device users for most of the project. County officials say the work is necessary to keep the lift span balanced and operational for river traffic.

  • Weekend roadwork scheduled on troublesome Beltway corridor that could lead to improvements – WTOP News

    [ad_1]

    D.C.-area drivers beware, road closures are planned for this weekend on key routes in both Virginia and Maryland.

    D.C.-area drivers beware, road closures are planned for this weekend on key routes in both Virginia and Maryland.

    In Virginia, the disruptions are taking place on a stretch of road already plagued by frequent delays, which the weekend work may help alleviate when completed.

    The Virginia Department of Transportation announced lane and ramp closures will begin Friday at 9 p.m. and continue until 9 a.m. Sunday on the northbound lanes of the Capital Beltway between Leesburg Pike and the George Washington Parkway.

    Triple lane closures and ramp closures will be in effect Friday and Saturday nights, VDOT said, and a single lane closure is planned all day Saturday.

    VDOT said it plans to smooth out the main lanes of the Inner Loop through the construction area. The temporary ramp from the Inner Loop to the westbound Dulles Toll Road will close and the new ramp is scheduled to open. The exit will be about a third of a mile past the current exit.

    “This also foreshadows a more efficient traffic flow on the Inner Loop, smoothing out a lane shift and opening shoulder space for incidents that block lanes and lead to longer delays,” WTOP Traffic reporter Dave Dildine said. “It also marks the beginning of the end for this multiyear project which has previously led to daily backups and frustration.”

    While the weekend closures may be a pain, this troublesome corridor should be better off in the long run.

    “In general, barring incidents, traffic should move better once this is completed,” Dildine said.

    In the event of inclement weather or other delays, the work will take place the following weekend, VDOT said.

    Meanwhile, in Maryland, temporary closures of the Suitland Parkway that began Thursday continue through the weekend.

    The National Park Service is temporarily closing the parkway at the request of the U.S. Air Force during the Joint Base Andrews Air Show. The parkway will be closed from Forestville Road to Pennsylvania Avenue during the following times:

    • Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
    • Saturday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
    • Sunday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

    Then, at the same time those freeways reopen to traffic, Rondo Avenue between Rice and Marion streets will be closed in both directions through 10 p.m. on Sept. 12. The Marion Street exit on westbound I-94 will also be inaccessible.

    The closures come as MnDOT crews work to repair nine bridges over I-94 and I-35E in Minnesota’s capital city. The John Ireland Boulevard Bridge will be completely replaced, with construction starting after the Twin Cities Marathon.

  • City of Tampa Assessment of Damage and Infrastructure after Hurricane Milton

    City of Tampa Assessment of Damage and Infrastructure after Hurricane Milton

    [ad_1]

    The City of Tampa has begun a thorough assessment of damage and infrastructure following Hurricane Milton.

    Due to the severity of the storm, certain areas of the city were more directly impacted. All roads are opened, but there are still many intersection lights out. Residents are advised to treat these areas as four way stops.

    For those who have evacuated to areas outside of city limits that have not yet been deemed safe for travel, residents are advised to use extreme caution when driving.

    “Our safety efforts do not end just because Milton has passed,” said Tampa Mayor Jane Castor. “The primary focus for our city, right now, is to conduct a swift and efficient damage assessment so we can get everyone back to their homes quickly, and most importantly, to get them home safely.”

    In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, Tampa Water Department staff is actively investigating and responding to water main breaks caused by storm damage. The department wants to reassure the public that staff is working to make any necessary repairs. Please keep in mind that the department continues to deliver clean, high-quality water to communities across our service area.

    As recovery efforts continue, City of Tampa staff will shift resources back to making any necessary repairs to the local water distribution system, addressing larger water main breaks first. Customers will be notified if crews need to shutdown their service to repair a nearby water main break.

    For more information and alerts related to post storm recovery, text TAMPAREADY or TAMPALISTA (for Spanish) to 888-777.

    MAPLE GROVE, Minn. — A bridge over a highway in the north metro is closed until further notice after a truck carrying a backhoe struck it.

    The crash at the 77th Avenue/Brooklyn Boulevard/Elm Creek Boulevard bridge over Highway 169 damaged several concrete beams, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

    The bridge will remain closed until engineers inspect it and crews clear debris.

    Traffic on Highway 169 won’t be affected, MnDOT said, and the ramps to and from the highway on each end of the bridge remain open. Bridge traffic is being diverted to Interstate 94/Interstate 604 on the south end and Highway 610 on the north end.

    Drivers should also find alternate routes if possible, MnDOT said.
