"Devastating Fire on I-10 Causes State of Emergency and Freeway Closure in Los Angeles"

The destructive pallet yard fire in downtown Los Angeles has led to the indefinite closure of the I-10 Freeway, causing major traffic disruptions. Los Angeles city leaders are working on a three-pronged approach to address the issue, including providing alternate routes, reopening the road as quickly as possible, and prioritizing safety. Commuters have been advised to expect delays and are encouraged to use public transit, particularly the Metro rail system. The Los Angeles Unified School District expects significant impacts on schools in the area but will remain open. Metrolink will expand services on its San Bernardino Line, and drivers are advised to use surrounding freeways as alternate routes. Traffic officers will be stationed near impacted schools during peak hours.

"Traffic Chaos: Cuomo Bridge and Thruway Shutdown Sparks 16-Hour Nightmare"

The closure of the NY Thruway southbound in eastern Rockland and the Cuomo/Tappan Zee Bridge on Saturday is expected to cause traffic chaos and delays. The closure is necessary to repair the South Broadway overpass that was struck by an over-height truck. Motorists are advised to stay away from local roads and plan alternate routes, as the closure will divert traffic to the Bear Mountain Bridge and the George Washington Bridge, both of which are expected to be heavily congested. The closure will begin Friday night and last until the repairs are completed.
