3-Day Indian Canyon Bridge Closure: Upgrades Underway In Palm Springs
The planned upgrades include raising the road, constructing a landscaped median, new sidewalks and drainage, new concrete and sewer upgrade.
PALM SPRINGS, CA — A stretch of Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs will be closed for about three days starting Tuesday evening to accommodate roadway modifications.
The road will be shut down from 11:30 p.m. Tuesday until 5 p.m. Friday between Sunrise Parkway and Garnet Avenue as part of the Indian Canyon Bridge Project, according to a statement from city officials. The closure will allow for asphalt grinding, paving and a shift in traffic patterns.
City officials had previously announced plans to widen the North Indian Canyon Bridge over the Union Pacific tracks to six lanes. The planned upgrades include raising the road, constructing a landscaped median, new sidewalks and drainage, new concrete and a sewer upgrade, according to the city's website.
