    It’s almost time for 24 Hours of Booty, which means some roads will be closed in Charlotte this weekend.

    The charity non-competitive bicycling and walking event to raise for money for cancer centers, takes place on the Booty Loop, a popular 2.85-mile route in the Myers Park neighborhood.

    In the 1990s, the route was named by a group of male cyclists “with a lighthearted appreciation for the ‘fitness levels’ of women exercising in the area,” CharlotteFive previously reported.

    To protect riders and walkers, roads will be closed for the event from Friday at 6 p.m. to Saturday at 8 p.m.

    Here are the roads that will be closed for the event, according to the City of Charlotte GIS website:

    • Hopedale Avenue between Queens Road West and Queens Road

    • Queens Road between Hopedale Avenue

    • Queens Road West between East Boulevard and Selwyn Avenue

    • Queens Road West between South Kings Drive and Hopedale Avenue

    • Selwyn Avenue between Radcliffe Avenue and Queens Road West

    You can also use the Booty Loop map at 24foundation.org to see which roads will be closed on Friday and Saturday.

    In preparation for the NATO Summit in D.C., crews installed tall, latticed steel fences on the sidewalk along the Ellipse near the White House on Monday.

    In preparation for Tuesday’s NATO Summit in D.C., crews from a contractor installed tall, latticed steel fences on the sidewalk along the Ellipse near the White House.

    A small forklift unloaded pallets of the fencing onto the sidewalk on Monday morning while crews dragged and then assembled the fencing.

    Most of the security fencing along the sidewalk isn’t blocking access to the sidewalk. It’s running parallel to the sidewalk to prevent someone from climbing over it. So pedestrians still have access to the sidewalk.

    Fencing was already in place around the Mellon Auditorium and Washington Convention Center, where the summit will take place from July 9-11.

    A number of roadway closures come into effect on Monday near Mellon Auditorium and White House and the Washington Convention Center.

    This street will be closed to all vehicles on Monday, July 8 at 9 a.m. through Friday, July 12 at noon:

    Traffic, parking and pedestrian closures will continue to increase over the next few days.

    Pedestrian access will also be restricted nearby the event spaces; you won’t be able to walk into those areas without a pass. The bottom line: leave extra time to get around downtown between Monday and Thursday.

    [ad_1]

    (FOX40.COM) — The California Department of Transportation is reminding drivers of various lane closures and delays that will take place along Interstate 80 beginning on Sunday and lasting until Thursday in some parts of Northern California.

    Caltrans said it performed an “extensive field review” of the I-80 corridor in 2023 and found “an unprecedented amount of damage” with some areas exhibiting moderate to high levels of rutting due to chain wear.

    Live Traffic

    •Weather News

    The agency adds that the upcoming extended lane closures will help minimize the project’s duration to repair I-80 while simultaneously speeding up the project’s completion and improving its workers’ safety.

    “Caltrans reminds motorists to ‘Be Work Zone Alert’ and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements,” Caltrans said.

    Traffic delays and lane closures can be expected here in Placer, Nevada, and Sierra counties.

    L.A. Marathon is Sunday & here are road closures to avoid

    [ad_1]

    LOS ANGELES – Celebrating its 39th year of running, the Los Angeles Marathon course will begin at Dodger Stadium and it will conclude at Century Park in Century City. The portion of the route that runs through the City of West Hollywood remains unchanged.

    Roughly 25,000 runners will stream through city streets, passing by iconic venues, all with the goal of completing Sunday’s 39th Los Angeles Marathon. The 26.2-mile course begins at Dodger Stadium, with the competition getting underway at 7 a.m. and going through several communities, including Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Century City.

    The finish line is at Santa Monica Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars in Century City. Most streets will reopen by 1 p.m. Sunday, with parts of Avenue of the Stars and Century Park East near the finish line being the last to reopen at 8 p.m.

    The Los Angeles Marathon route for 2024 will guide runners westbound into the City of West Hollywood along Sunset Boulevard at Marmont Lane, just west of N. Crescent Heights Boulevard. From the Sunset Strip, runners will turn left (south) onto N. San Vicente Boulevard; then right (west) onto Santa Monica Boulevard; then left (south) onto N. Doheny Drive, where they will enter the City of Beverly Hills. The Marathon will run through West Hollywood between miles 14 and 15 of the course.

    To ensure the safety of the large numbers of Los Angeles Marathon runners, there will be several street closures in the City of West Hollywood on Sunday, March 17, 2024 from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m.; crews will work to reopen roads to vehicle traffic as quickly as possible as the Marathon moves through the City of West Hollywood:

    • Sunset Boulevard between Marmont Lane and Clark Street/N. San Vicente Boulevard (the route enters the City of West Hollywood from the City of Los Angeles west along Sunset Boulevard from Marmont Lane, just west of N. Crescent Heights Boulevard);
    • N. San Vicente Boulevard between Sunset Boulevard and Melrose Avenue;
    • Santa Monica Boulevard between La Cienega Boulevard and N. Doheny Drive;
    • N. Doheny Drive between Santa Monica Boulevard and Beverly Boulevard (the route exits the City of West Hollywood to the City of Beverly Hills south along N. Doheny Drive).

    Parking will be strictly prohibited along the Los Angeles Marathon route. “No Parking” signs will be posted prior to the event. Vehicles in violation will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

    Los Angeles Marathon spectators and community members who are searching for alternative parking solutions in West Hollywood during the Los Angeles Marathon are encouraged to visit the City of West Hollywood’s website, where a directory of parking structures and municipal lots with hours of operation and rates is available online. Members of the public are encouraged to carpool and to use public transportation, taxis, or ridesharing options.

    Roads will be closed to the public for the event as early as 3 a.m. on Sunday. They include roads along the route. A map of closures can be found below:

    A full list of complete-street closures can be found at this link: L.A. Marathon course closures.

  • Caltrans crews working to keep canyon routes to PCH clear during storm

    Caltrans crews working to keep canyon routes to PCH clear during storm

    [ad_1]

    MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) — With this week’s storm shaking debris and mud loose from Southern California hillsides, Caltrans crews have been busy keeping canyon routes clear.

    Canyon routes from the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County to Malibu, including Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Malibu Canyon Road, remain open as of Tuesday afternoon.

    Caltrans crews were positioned in advance of the storm in areas known to be prone to flooding. They were staffing the area 24 hours a day, rotating in 12-hour shifts, checking drainage systems and carrying pumps in areas prone to flooding.

    “Everybody was pretty much all hands on deck,” said Caltrans spokesman Jim Medina.

    On Monday, falling boulders blocked at least one lane of Pacific Coast Highway just north of Topanga State Beach. By Tuesday the lanes were cleared.

    “I think we’re doing fairly well,” Medina said. “We still have to get through today and tomorrow.”

    In Ventura County, tourists and locals were watching massive waves break on the beach and splash up. In areas near where the river flowed into the ocean, the water appeared much muddier than usual.

    Authorities are asking Southern California drivers to stay off the roads during the current storm when possible. The roads remain slick, prone to flooding and damaged by potholes.
