Commuters who travel on Interstate 10 between Banning and Highway 111 in Palm Springs, brace yourselves for construction projects for the next two to three years. CalTrans has announced that preliminary work on the project, called the I-10 Tune-Up, will start Monday night, February 3. From 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. February 3 through February 7, crews will remove the center median guardrail and vegetation, and restripe the lanes in both directions in preparation of upcoming work. From 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., crews will continue work in the center median.
The I-10 Tune-Up will consist of repaving eastbound lanes number 3 and 4, slab replacement in lanes number 1 and 2, upgrade on and off ramps, and upgrade the guardrails. The project is not scheduled to be completed until the end of 2022.
In addition, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 4-5, eastbound 1-10 will experience lane and ramp closures from Fields Road to Main Street in Cabazon. Work will be done on the right shoulder, the number 4 land and the eastbound I-10 on-ramp from Morongo Trail.
To stay on top of roadwork, go to Caltrans District 8 and sign up for commuter alerts. To assist in planning your commute, view live traffic conditions using QuickMap and planned lane closures.
