BOURBON CO., Kan. — The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a bridge repair project starting this week.
KDOT crews will work on the U.S. 69 bridge over Wall Street in Fort Scott, patching and resurfacing the bridge deck. Drivers can expect delays up to 15 minutes, as traffic will be one lane through the work zone. Crews encourage drivers and motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs.
The 1.5 million dollar project is expected to be finished by the end of December, weather permitting.

Here's How Much Traders Expect Tesla Stock To Move After Earnings Wednesday

Tesla (TSLA) is scheduled to report its second-quarter results after the market closes on Wednesday, with investors expecting the electric vehicle maker's stock to make a sizable move after the report. Based on recent options pricing, Tesla stock is seen moving close to 7% or almost $22 in either direction from Monday's close near $329 by the end of this week's trading sessions. At the high end, that would leave Tesla stock at just over $350, with the low end falling at roughly $307. Tesla shares rose 5.4% the day after the electric vehicle maker's first-quarter report, when CEO Elon Musk told investors he was weeks away from leaving his work with the Trump administration. They gained nearly 3% following Tesla's January fourth-quarter report, after surging nearly 22% and falling 12.3%, respectively, after each of the two previous quarters' earnings. Tesla shares have lost nearly 20% of their value since the start of this year. They have recovered from the lows they experienced in March and April when Tesla was the subject of protests while Musk was working in the federal government, but have still been pressured in recent weeks as Musk has continued to insert himself into politics on social media. The EV giant is expected to report an over 10% decline in revenue from the same time a year ago to $22.78 billion, while adjusted earnings per share are projected to drop nearly 20% to 42 cents, per estimates compiled by Visible Alpha. Analysts have said recently the stock could respond more to Musk's comments about Tesla's recently launched robotaxi program and other projects than the company's quarterly financial results, as the shares rose earlier this month despite deliveries missing estimates. Among the analysts tracked by Visible Alpha who follow the company, eight call Tesla stock a "buy," compared with five "hold," and four "sell" ratings. Their average price target at $301 is about 8% below Monday's level.

California DMV Seeking 30-Day Tesla Sale Suspension for Unrealistic 'Autopilot,' 'Full Self-Driving' Claims

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has brought suit against electric car manufacturer Tesla, alleging false advertising and misleading customers with its "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" features. The DMV is angling for a 30-day suspension of the automaker's license to sell EVs in California for at least 30 days while the courts hash out whether fines or retribution should come next. Tesla is, of course, looking to fight the allegations. What does this mean for you? If the CA DMV's request for suspension is granted, it could throw Tesla into chaos. The suspension would come on the tail of a huge drop in sales during the first half of 2025 brought by a combination of the current administration's lukewarm attitude towards EVs, unpredictable tariffs and Tesla Head Musk's political meddlings. The brand is currently recovering from the dip and experiencing a surge of sales spurred on by customers rushing to save big before the imminent end of the Federal EV tax incentive, but a stop-sale today would kill that momentum in the state where over a third of the EVs in the US are sold, potentially until after the credit is gone in September. For drivers in the state of California, this could mean looking to other manufacturers to get their EV fix. Currently models in the portfolios of Hyundai, Kia, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Acura, Chrysler and Jeep qualify as alternatives for the EV tax break. Outside of California, a 30-day suspension could mean a surge of inventory at Tesla dealerships should the automaker rush to move stock to unaffected markets. Of course, we'll have to wait and see how things shake out in court this week to know for sure. The question of "Full Self-Driving" According to the CA DMV, Tesla (and CEO Elon Musk) is misrepresenting the capabilities of its vehicles' advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in the ways the features are named -- "Full Self-Driving" and "Autopilot" -- described and marketed to potential buyers and current owners. The DMV first initiated proceedings against Tesla in July 2022, later revising their claims in November 2023. (In 2021, the National Transportation Safety Board called Tesla "irresponsible" for similar reasons.) The CA DMV has called for a suspension of Tesla's licenses to sell vehicles in California for at least 30 days, along with securing a court order for the electric vehicle maker to pay a yet determined amount in restitution. Now Playing: Watch the First Rides of the New Tesla Robotaxi 02:59 The agency cites verbiage from Tesla making claims that its vehicles are able to, for example, "conduct short and long-distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver's seat" and "automatically search for a spot and park itself" as creating unrealistic expectations for the technology's current legal and technological capabilities. Tesla's rebuttal includes a claim that the DMV has been aware of its use of the "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" branding since the features' debuts in 2014 and 2016, respectively, long before the DMV's first allegations. According to Tesla, this is paramount to "implicit approval" up to that point. Over the years, the automaker has also made small tweaks to its product descriptions. Today, the highest-tier ADAS feature is labeled on Tesla's website as "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" with footnotes stating that "currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous." However, the CA DMV doesn't think that's good enough and so the largest EV manufacturer in the US and the State with the largest EV market find themselves in court. Musk has been promising full self-driving cars "within three to six months" for well over 10 years stance on "autonomous driving" It's been CNET's policy since the features' inception to clarify when reporting on Tesla that neither Autopilot nor Full Self-Driving are true full self-driving autonomous car systems, rather they are advanced driver assistance systems that require (both practically and legally) the driver to remain engaged and attentive on the road. As CNET's automotive expert, I continue this practice -- which is in keeping with the currently accepted understanding and definition of levels of driver assistance technology as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) -- and aim ensure that our readers have an accurate understanding of what car tech can and can't do in order to be best informed when making buying decisions and staying safe on the road.

Coolidge Highway bridge Oakland County now closed to drivers for repairs

Drivers, heads up: if your commute takes you near Coolidge Highway and 10 Mile Road in Oakland County, a busy bridge is closed in that area starting Monday. Drivers say they are already anticipating a longer commute. "I just go around it. I use the side streets," said Oak Park resident Erica Johnson. "I'm not excited about it. I won't be driving that way. I definitely think it's going to bother a lot of people," added Huntington Woods resident Dan Rosenberg. Closed for construction, the Coolidge Highway Bridge is now blocked off to traffic. It's another road project folks behind the wheel must dodge. "It's a little bit of a headache having to go around and find alternate routes. It does impact my commute, but I just work around it," Johnson said. "It's only temporary. You want to see improvement, so they're making improvement," added Detroit resident Anthony Gavin. The busy bridge is on the border of Oak Park and Huntington Woods in Oakland County. The Michigan Department of Transportation is shutting it down for repairs. "We're going to be doing deck patching and joint replacement on the bridge; we've got false decking underneath the bridge already, so nothing will fall down onto traffic down below," said MDOT spokesperson Diane Cross. Coolidge Bridge is one of dozens of bridges to get improvements and is part of the multi-million dollar Restore the Reuther project between I-696 and I-75. "Unfortunately, it is a necessary evil. Once we're done, we're not going to have to be out here other than maintenance. We won't have any of these major projects for two to three decades," Cross said. A barrier drivers say will add a few more minutes to their commute, but a diversion they're fully equipped to handle. "Nothing we can do, so just be positive and hope for the best and just be patient," Johnson said. MDOT says this bridge work will take about a month and is expected to reopen late August, depending on the weather. However, the service drive on both sides of 10 Mile Road is still open to traffic. In the meantime, drivers can use the turnarounds to get to the other side of Coolidge Highway.
