COACHELLA VALLEY, CA — Road closures have begun in the desert in preparation for the upcoming Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals.

A portion of Avenue 50 in Indio was shut down Monday for six weeks. The closure between Madison and Monroe streets is expected to last through May 4.

A similar stretch of the same road was restricted around this time in previous years to allow infrastructure to be set up and taken down for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts and Stagecoach festivals.
