Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Top stories at the top of the hour with Nashley next.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Today is the day if.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
You are a commuter in Tampa Bay you might figure
out the way to work.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
WHOA, I got here. Took me a while to get
here because they slowed down the y.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Speed speak English, they slowed down the speed on the highway. Yeah,
I thought, who commuter in Tampa Bay headed to work
this morning, You're probably gonna get to work a little later.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah. For like half second, Ashley was speaking track.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, so this happened Sunday night.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
The Florida Department of Transportation lowered the speed limits on
two sections of I two seventy five and Panilas in
Hillsboro Counties. F DOT said the reduction will apply to
two work zones, the Howard Franklin Bridge and in Panilla's County,
the stretch of I two seventy five between at thirty
eighth Avenue North and fourth Street North, which is where

(01:01):
the Howard Franklin Bridge begins. The speed limit is reduced
to fifty five miles per hour for the length of
both work zones. F DOT is also added a pathway
adjacent to the bridge, specifically for a cyclist and pedestrians.
Officials say all the work on the bridge is estimated
to be completed by spring of twenty twenty six. I
still blame up for them bringing down the speed limit.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
So here's my thing.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
People already don't follow the speed limit, which is why
they got.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
To change it.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
And I've been driving fast.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
But how long is The way I see this is
is that they're gonna pull over people for probably what
a month, and it's gonna be pull pollarver poll over, pullarver,
poll over, poll over, poll over.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Then after a month, I just feel like it's gonna
go back to normal. So I see, I don't know.
I think it all depends Joe on the accident situation.
Like if the accidents are like cut down by a lot,
I think they'll keep it there. If there's like no changing.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Accidents, I think they'll be I'm not saying they're going
to change the speed limit, fact saying that they're going
to be on the bridge a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Also people are just going to go back to sea.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
But anyway, moving on, let's get into if you're single
in Tampa Bay, y all life got easier baby, because
according to a recent study by a wallet hub, Tampa
ranked as the third best city for single people who
are looking for a significant other. Joe dated back into
twenty one. When'd you find your fiance?

the sea.

Speaker 2 (02:35):

received Tampa Bay a sixty two point seventy three.
