Aces Travel To Minnesota, Sunday, For Lone Preseason Game Of 2022


Minneapolis, MN (April 30, 2022)—Las Vegas travels to Minnesota this Sunday for an 11 am PT tip against the Lynx in the lone preseason game of the year for the Aces.

It is WNBA legend Becky Hammon’s first year at the helm of the franchise following eight years with the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs as an assistant. She starred in the WNBA for 16 years, the last 8 of which were as a member of the San Antonio Stars.

A six-time All-Star, and four-time All-WNBA performer, Hammon was a member of the WNBA’s 15th, 20th and 25th Anniversary Teams.

Las Vegas is led on the court by three-time All-Star and WNBA M’VP A’ja Wilson, who last year helped the US Women’s National Team to an Olympic gold medal in Japan. She is joined by three other US Olympic gold medalists in guards Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young. Gray starred on the 5×5 team with Wilson while Plum and Young helped the United States to the inaugural 3×3 Olympic championship.

The Lynx and Aces squared off against one another on three occasions last season, with Minnesota winning two of the three.

There will be a familiar face wearing a Lynx uniform Sunday as Angel McCoughtry, who played for Las Vegas in 2020-21, signed with Minnesota as a free agent during the offseason. The Lynx’ roster also features former Aces All-Star Kayla McBride.

Las Vegas opens its 2022 WNBA regular season at Phoenix on Friday, May 6.

All traffic will be diverted until late Sunday afternoon


WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla — The Tampa Bay area continues to boom and with more business, comes more traffic.

“The roads have been unable to accommodate the amount of traffic,” Joe Vergona, managing partner at Bubba’s 33, said.

In Wesley Chapel residents told ABC Action News that the I-75 and SR 56 interchange is a headache.

“The congestion right now, it’s really difficult for people to get over the bridge, so they kind of avoid this area,” Hong Trinh, owner of Sweet Tea Cafe, said.

Efforts to create a diverging diamond interchange began in 2019.

“A lot of our customers say that, you know, they tend to avoid this area because of the congestion. It takes like about 20 to 30 minutes just to get to over the bridge. So hopefully, when they open up, it’s going to be quicker for them to get here and more accessible to our customers,” Trinh explained.

“Over the last three years that I’ve been working out in this area now just so many businesses have been popping up very frequently and very rapidly,” Vergona added.

Vergona said over the last few years his commute time has doubled.

“There’s usually always congestion right before the end of the day going either way on this road. The lanes are extremely narrow, so it definitely kind of bottlenecks the cars,” Vergona explained.

Relief is in sight as the diverging diamond interchange project is nearing completion.

“What that means is that instead of traffic going across the interstate, in the normal fashion, in this case, the traffic going westbound is on the north side. East bound bounds on the south. We’re going to reverse that. We’re going to cross over the traffic on each side of the of I 75. And that will allow it to function better because we get rid of some hard left turns at the traffic signals tender the ramps, and everything just flows better in this type of pattern,” John McShaffrey, Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven, said.

“Hopefully it’ll draw more traffic and bring more business to the area,” Trinh added.

“I think once people get into the flow of it, it’s going to really help with not keeping that area so congested,” Vergona said.

SR 56 at I-75 is closed Saturday night until late Sunday afternoon.

Traffic in the area won’t be at full capacity until the project is complete sometime in the summer.

Pacing operations will slow I-75 traffic Sunday


GIBSONTON, Fla. — The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will be scheduling traffic pacing operations along northbound and southbound  I-75 between Gibsonton Drive and SR 674 (College Blvd./Sun City Center Blvd.) from 10 p.m. Sunday, April 24, to 2 a.m. Monday, April 25, if weather allows.

Law enforcement vehicles will be out slow traffic to 20 mph to create a 20-minute window allowing the setup of construction equipment in the median area of  I-75 and Big Bend Road. At times, traffic entering from Gibsonton Drive, Big Bend Road, and SR 674 on-ramps will not be able to enter I-75 until the front of each pacing operation has passed.

Due to the rapid growth in southern Hillsborough County, FDOT has partnered with the county to develop long-term solutions to help alleviate traffic congestion in the area. According to FDOT, this interchange improvement project is to finish in the summer of 2025.

M5, A38, A30 and A39: Latest Devon and Cornwall traffic and travel news for Easter Sunday 2022 – updates


Hello, and welcome to our traffic and travel live blog. This is where you will find all of today’s news affecting the roads and railways near you.

Disruption and traffic across Devon and Cornwall has been limited overnight with very few incidents to report. It was a different story in Devon yesterday when a barn fire near Umberleigh caused the A377 to be closed until 11am.

Fire crews from across Devon attended the incident after an out-of-control caravan blaze spread to a barn containing potentially hazardous materials. It was hoped the road would be reopened at 5am but that wasn’t possible, and a video taken of the fire showed just how violent the flames were.

In Cornwall, the roads were reported to be heavily congested in some areas which is thought to have been caused by an influx of holidaymakers. It could be a pattern that is likely to continue during this bank holiday with the RAC predicting this weekend’s traffic to be the busiest in eight years.

Slow traffic was reported in St. Ives, Tideford, Hayle, Carland Cross and Teignmouth.
