North Indian Canyon Road Reopens After San Dunes Cleared

PALM SPRINGS, CA -- A stretch of North Indian Canyon road that was expected to be closed until sometime Friday due to sand dunes, reopened hours early after the dunes were shaved away of schedule, according to the Palm Springs Police Dept.

Officials had announced the closure of North Indian Canyon Road between the 10 Freeway and Tramview Road Tuesday night, as sand dunes built up on the road from high winds.

Crews initially were expected to be on scene scraping away the dunes until Friday, North Indian Canyon Road was reopened Thursday afternoon after workers were able to finish ahead of schedule, Palm Springs Police Sgt. Mike Casavan said.
