Drivers in Paleopyrgos, Greece, continue crossing a buckling storm-damaged Palaiopyrgos Bridge to dodge a detour that could add about 19 miles to trips, even as the crumbling concrete threatens safety; officials have approved an upgrade, but construction hasn’t started, raising concerns about potential flooding in future Daniel-type storms.
In central Greece, residents of Larissa and surrounding areas are driving across a sagging, nearly three-year-old bridge over the Pineios River that collapsed during Storm Daniel, because the official detour is longer.

Space.com chats with Detour co-authors Jeff Rake and Rob Hart about crafting a mind‑bending sci‑fi tale: a Titan mission turns into a homecoming where Earth isn’t what the crew left behind, and the writers emphasize making big ideas feel believable rather than 100% technically correct. They discuss collaborating across TV and novels, near‑future tech with plausible physics, designing the ship with artificial gravity, and leaning into grounded family drama to humanize ambitious concepts. Detour is available now.
Kim Petras publicly asked to be dropped by Republic Records, claiming her completed album Detour hasn’t been given a release date or payments to collaborators, and that she wants to self-fund and self-curate her music.

The bridge along U.S. 50 crossing the Blue Mesa Reservoir in Colorado has been closed due to cracking in the T1 Steel used in its construction, leading to a lengthy detour for drivers. Inspectors found a crack in the steel girder midway through the bridge, and there is no estimate on when it will reopen or if repairs are needed. The recommended detour adds hours of travel time, and CDOT is exploring the feasibility of clearing local seasonal routes to reduce detour time for local travelers. While the closure impacts road travel, recreation on the Blue Mesa under the bridge is not affected, and travelers are advised to check COtrip.org for the latest road conditions.

During Formula One weekend, a family traveling from Los Angeles to Las Vegas was led astray by Google Maps, which suggested a detour through the desert due to a dust storm that closed Interstate 15. The detour left them stranded in the middle of the desert near Sandy Valley, Nevada, with no way to turn around. After two hours, they managed to return to the interstate, but Google Maps continued to direct them towards the same route. Google has since apologized and stated that they will no longer route drivers through those roads. The family incurred $5,000 worth of car repairs and had to book a flight back to Los Angeles.
