Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:28:30 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal court jury has decided that Google’s Android app store has been protected by anticompetitive barriers that have damaged smartphone consumers and software developers, dealing a blow to a major pillar of a technology empire.The unanimous verdict reached Monday came after just three hours of deliberation following a four-week trial revolving around a lucrative payment system within Google’s Play Store.

Just as Apple does for its iPhone app store, Google collects a commission ranging from 15% to 30% on digi...

1 of 2 structurally deficient I-70 bridges rebuilt at Vail Pass

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:28:30 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Vail Pass is a notoriously challenging stretch of Interstate 70.Not only does it have the highest crash rate for all of I-70 in Colorado, but it's also sent drivers on two bridges deemed "structurally deficient."The good news is those bridges are getting replaced — and one of the replacements is already open to traffic. It's part of an ongoing, $300 million project designed to improve safety on I-70 along the Vail Pass stretch, where construction just paused for the winter season.Progress so far includes the completion of a new westbound bridge over Polk Creek, replacing its structurally deficient predecessor, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. These new Colorado laws go into effect in 2024 A third lane on the new bridge now gives more room for emergency response vehicles when traffic is blocked and, eventually, will accommodate a third lane along westbound Vail Pass, CDOT said.Aerial view of the I-70 bridges at Mile Point 185.
