Major delays to come amid big road closures on Highway 50 in Northern California

( — 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,.

Athletics fan confronted by security for wearing 'SELL' t-shirt caught on live broadcast

They simply go by the Athletics now, as the team formerly stationed in Oakland will soon plant their roots in Las Vegas. For now, the team plays their games at Sutter Health Park, a minor league field in Sacramento, while the transition to Las Vegas continues to run its course. As a result, there is a large portion of the team's fanbase that remains disgruntled at ownership for moving to Sin City instead of continuing to play in Oakland. Well, one fan decided to make his presence known during the team's pregame show on Thursday ahead of the match-up with the Minnesota Twins. He wore a t-shirt that read, "SELL." While the pregame show was going on, that fan was quickly confronted by a Sutter Health Park security guard, and more team and field officials quickly followed suit. The whole thing was captured on the live broadcast. Joe Horton identified himself on social media as the man in question, and he noted that security allowed him to remain in his seat for the game after speaking with them. He told Awful Announcing, who posted the pregame clips on X, that this was "not my first rodeo." "When they show up I think the whole time – you know this too is on TV right?" Horton replied on X. Horton even had some fun on X posting a screenshot of himself in the background of the pregame show desk surrounded by security and white-polo-wearing officials. "Look how many friends I made today," he captioned the screenshot. Fans like Horton remain ticked off by A's owner John Fisher, who is leading the move to Las Vegas. Similar t-shirts, signs, and flags were seen at the Oakland Coliseum last season when the team's home games started to dwindle as the schedule came to a close. The Athletics will be playing in Sacramento for at least the next couple of seasons, as the team's new ballpark in Las Vegas won't be ready until 2028 at the earliest. So, fans like Horton continue to voice their opinion on Fisher's moves, and it's clear a good portion of the fan base wishes him out of baseball. He doesn't seem inclined to do so. The Athletics remain a very young team with some budding talent, including Brent Rooker, Tyler Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson and Lawrence Butler, among others. They are 24-40 entering Thursday, which is last in the AL West division. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

West Sacramento's State of the City: Mayor touts growth, planned $100M investments into city projects

West Sacramento mayor breaks down top priorities from 2025 State of the City address West Sacramento mayor breaks down top priorities from 2025 State of the City address West Sacramento mayor breaks down top priorities from 2025 State of the City address WEST SACRAMENTO -- Mayor Martha Guerrero, in her State of the City address, emphasized growth as she laid out future plans for the city on Thursday. The mayor, in listing off the successes of this past year, was quick to first point out that West Sacramento pulled off Sutter Health Park becoming the new temporary home of the formerly-Oakland Athletics as the club makes its eventual move to Las Vegas. "We are setting the standard for what a small but mighty city can do. We're not just growing. We are growing with purpose and with passion," said Guerrero in her address to the city. In less than a year's time, the city got the AAA-Minor League ballpark up to Major League Baseball standards, implemented a traffic safety plan and worked to invest in small businesses near the ballpark, helping them expand and prepare for an increase in foot traffic. The city is leaning into its newly announced nickname, 'the baseball side of the river.' "We are demonstrating to Major League Baseball that we have what it takes, a small city, what it takes to highlight some of the success along the riverfront," Guerrero told CBS13. With rapid growth, West Sacramento is going through some expected growing pains. It's had to respond to more foot traffic, a population uptick and all the infrastructure needs that entails. Better roads, more police and bigger projects are the city's focus. A major priority for both the city of West Sacramento and the city of Sacramento is finally breaking ground on the years-in-the-making I Street Bridge Replacement Project. In collaboration with Sacramento, Guerrero says West Sacramento will be financially investing in the project and expect it to break ground in 2026. "What we do need is a bigger bridge that allows for safer bike and pedestrian traffic going to the Railyards and also coming to our Washington District, which we are planning on expanding," said Guerrero. As Sacramento faces a steep $44 million budget deficit, West Sacramento is seeing rare financial freedom. Guerrero pointed to the November election, when voters passed a sales tax increase through Measure O. Its passage has now given the green light to a more than $20 million investment back into city projects. "For parks, addressing homelessness, police and fire," said Guerrero. The mayor says Measure O has already helped West Sacramento's police force grow by 38 new officers and funded critically needed road repairs. Plus, in a first of its kind $86 million bond issuance, the city over three years will be able to fast-track new development projects. This, Guerrero says, one day could mean that West Sacramento has its own downtown scene. "Right now, it is just conversations on what we can do to support building a downtown that is attractive with mixed-use development along West Capitol," said Guerrero. West Capitol Ave. is home to the Grand Gateway Master Plan, which reimagines the corridor connecting Jefferson Blvd. down to the riverfront. The city has recently purchased old motel properties along West Capitol Ave. that currently house homeless temporary housing services to eventually be turned into a boutique hotel and new housing. Next summer, the city also expects the Pierside Development along the waterfront to open, home to more than 200 new apartments and commercial space. A hotel on the water is also in its early planning stages next to the Ziggurat building on the West Sacramento side of the river. "I'm proud to share we are seeing remarkable momentum across all sectors. Industrial, residential, office, retail and mixed use," said Guerrero in her state of the city remarks.
