Major delays to come amid big road closures on Highway 50 in Northern California
(FOX40.COM) — Drivers in Northern California are expected to face big road closures along Highway 50 amid Father's Day weekend and beyond, according to the California Department of Transportation.
Caltrans warned motorists of a scheduled 79-hour closure in effect from June 13-17 as part of the ongoing $280 million Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 50 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in Yolo County.
What is No Kings Day?
Delays are expected from the Yolo I-80/ US 50 split to Jefferson Boulevard and west of I-5.
The closure is scheduled on a section of U.S. Highway 50 in West Sacramento from 9 p.m. Friday, June 13 until 4 a.m. Tuesday, June 17. The department urged motorists to plan, expect delays, and use the designated, signed detour routes.
The closures also include an A's home game scheduled for June 16 against the Houston Astros at Sutter Health Park. Caltrans said fans who are coming from eastbound I-80 will stay on eastbound I-80 to southbound I-5, and back down to westbound US-50 to access the ballpark.
How does ICE know who to deport?
'Please allow for additional travel time on game day,' Caltrans said.
Additionally, Caltrans said to be on 'work zone alert' and to slow down in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
The extended full highway and ramp closures for pavement replacement work will reportedly shorten the expected project completion time and improve workers' safety. According to Caltrans, the construction schedule is subject to change or be delayed by weather, availability of materials, or other unexpected events,.

5 Things To Ask Aging Parents About Emergency Evacuations
Recent wildfires in Los Angeles, floods, extreme heat, tornadoes and other emergencies are getting more frequent in our country. If it hasn't happened to you or your aging loved ones yet, you may put off talking about it. It's scary. We don't like to think about these things possibly affecting us personally, but we must. A conversation with aging loved ones could save their lives. If they don't live with you, it's time to have in mind a basic list of questions to ask so that all in a family can plan for emergency exits. Emergency evacuation on foot Anadolu via Getty Images First, Notification-- How Would You Know About An Emergency? Most digital savvy folks have emergency alerts on their phones, established by the local fire departments or other agencies tasked with addressing emergencies. But many of our aging parents don't have these apps, notification alerts or other means of communication from local authorities. Adult children or grandchildren can sign them up and teach them to use them to see emergency warnings. Even a simple, not so smart cell phone can do this in most cases. Take this step as a first essential one. If they lack the phone, buy a cell phone for them that is capable and show them what an emergency alert looks like. Second: Plan For Evacuation They Might Need--Where Would You Go? You, the family need to know of a place to which your aging parents could escape danger, such as from a wildfire or flood. The local government is tasked with establishing escape routes. It can help to print and post the plan at your aging parents' home. Third: Plan For Transportation Out--How Would You Get To A Safe Place? Do your loved ones drive? Is there a vehicle to which they have access if they need to evacuate? If not, neighbors, friends, or anyone nearby needs to know that they could be trapped. If your aging parents have not reached out to anyone, you can help them do so. Have a plan for whom they could call, what transportation they could count on or if they drive, what direction they would need to take to flee danger. Fourth: Pack A 'Go Bag'--Do You Have A Bag Ready If You Have To Escape Fast? The duffel, backpack or other bag they might need should be already packed with essentials. Medications, ID, glasses, phone charger, dehydrated food, hat, gloves, water and a change of clothing are some basics most authorities suggest putting in the go bag. You know your aging parents. Decide with them what they would require in an emergency for a day or a few days. Be sure it's ready to go ahead of time. In dire times it is hard to think this through under pressure of an evacuation order. Fifth: Whom To Contact And Where To Meet--Do You Know Who To Call And Where We Could Find You? Be sure to have a printed sheet of all phone numbers of those who will need to be informed of an aging loved one's whereabouts after an evacuation. Terrified relatives, possibly yourself, need to know as soon as possible if your loved ones escaped the emergency. In case of power failures or panicked forgetting phone numbers, the go bag has a backup piece of paper in it, so that aging loved ones can reach you. We can all learn from the tragedies we have seen before now. More are sure to come. If you are a responsible person with aging parents, take the lead and have the discussion. Help them be ready. While you're at it, be ready yourself.

Helm.ai advances self-driving tech with new vision system
a startup backed by Honda, has unveiled a new camera-based system named Vision, designed to interpret complex urban environments for self-driving cars. collaboration with Honda will see its system featured in the 2026 Honda Zero series of electric vehicles, promising a hands-free driving experience where users can safely divert their attention away from the road. The company said, it is also negotiating with various automakers for the integration its technology into mass-market vehicles. CEO and founder Vladislav Voroninski was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We're definitely in talks with many OEMs and we're on track for deploying our technology in production. "Our business model is essentially licensing this kind of software and also Foundation model software to the automakers." The California-based company's vision-first strategy is akin to that of Tesla, which also prioritises cameras over other sensors like Lidar and radar to mitigate additional costs. Despite this, industry specialists argue that supplementary sensors are essential for safety, providing redundancy for cameras that may falter in low-visibility conditions. Companies operating robotaxis, such as Waymo and May Mobility, employ a mix of radar, lidar, and cameras to navigate their environment. which has raised $102m in funding, counts Goodyear Ventures, Sungwoo HiTech, and Amplo among its investors. Vision synthesises imagery from multiple cameras to generate a comprehensive bird's-eye view map, enhancing the vehicle's decision-making and control mechanisms. The system is tailored for compatibility with various hardware platforms from companies such as Nvidia and Qualcomm. This adaptability allows car manufacturers to seamlessly integrate Vision into their vehicles' existing systems, which are already equipped with proprietary technologies for predicting and planning vehicle movements.
