Grosse Ile Parkway Bridge reopening for the next month
Just in time for Memorial Day weekend and Grosse Ile's Islandfest, the Grosse Ile Parkway Bridge has temporarily reopened, giving drivers and pedestrians a brief break from detours.
The bridge opened at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, and will remain accessible for up to four weeks while operating under its current load restrictions, Wayne County officials said in a news release. The reopening follows the early completion of the first phase of maintenance repairs.
The bridge will close again to vehicles and pedestrians for a second round of repairs, which are expected to last up to three weeks.

To streamline the process, the county's Department of Public Services fast-tracked a critical bridge inspection originally planned for June, according to the county release. That inspection was completed on May 22, allowing engineers to begin design and planning for the next phase while crews remain on standby.
Updates on future closures will be announced once details are finalized.

This runway will only be open for departures, while FAA flight crews ensure the runway's navigational aids are tested, calibrated and safe to use for arrivals. This is standard protocol to ensure a runway is safe to use for pilots and the flying public," the FAA said in a statement. "The airport will continue to operate with a maximum arrival rate of 28 aircraft an hour until those checks are complete. After that, the airport's maximum arrival rate will be 34 aircraft an hour." The announcement comes before the summer travel schedule becomes fully booked and is welcomed news for United Airlines, which operates nearly 70% of flights from Newark Liberty International Airport. "The airport's runway construction project is now complete.

As Fox 10 in Phoenix reported, the two teens left for a Memorial Day weekend camping trip, but they never returned.

When does the new live-action ‘Lilo and Stitch' stream on Disney+?
Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch" remake is continuing to dominate the global box office after its Memorial Day weekend release. According to ABC News, Disney's live-action has already passed the horror movie 'Sinners' to become the second-highest-grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in domestic ticket sales and $610.8 million globally.

According to Forbes, the live-action film is expected to arrive on Disney+ approximately three months after its theatrical release, which puts its arrival around late August or early September.

See review: New 'Lilo & Stitch' falls short of first film's unhinged brilliance However, there are some major differences from the original, according to USA TODAY. For starters, Nani's character is expanded: Once a star student and athlete, she has now shelved her college dreams of studying marine biology so that she can work and raise Lilo. In the original movie, Jumba (Zach Galifianakis) and Pleakley (Billy Magnussen) don a variety of disguises – glasses, sunhats, dresses ‒ as they covertly track down Stitch, but now the characters assume human form when they arrive on Earth. Some characters have been removed, such as the alien antagonist Gantu. Cobra Bubbles is also only a federal agent in this version and the social worker named Mrs. Kekoa is added. Lastly, the ending is mostly different with a chaotic spacecraft crash and Nani ultimately giving up custody of Lilo to their neighbor, Tūtū, to attend college in California. Oh, and Pudge (the fish that controls the weather, according to Lilo) doesn't eat peanut butter sandwiches. Instead, it's lettuce and tomato sandwiches. The movie is directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and stars: Maia Kealoha as Lilo Chris Sanders as Stitch (who also voiced the original Stitch) Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani Tia Carrere as Mrs. Kekoa Zach Galifianakis as Jumba Billy Magnussen as Pleakley Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles Hannah Waddingham as Grand Councilwoman Yes! Walt Disney World guests can meet their favorite alien at Magic Kingdom during the nightly DJ dance party at Rocket Tower Plaza Stage. USA TODAY contributed to this report.
