The Yucca Valley Town Council recently held a ribbon cutting to commemorate the completion of a major road project along the busiest roadway in the community, outside of Twentynine Palms Highway. The Yucca Trail Safety Improvement Project consisted of widening the roadway from Warren Vista to Palomar, providing an 8-foot shoulder in each direction and a 12-foot center striped median with left turn pockets at each intersection. The project also included the widening of Warren Vista both north and south of Yucca Trail to include left hand turn and through lanes as well as the addition of protected turning movements at the intersection of Palomar and Yucca Trail.
The Town secured grant funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program for the construction of the $1.3 million Yucca Trail Safety Improvement Project which only required a minimum 10% match of local funds.
