Upcoming Closures

Monday, February 27 - Thursday, March 2
Nightly single-lane closures along eastbound and westbound I-10 from east of Dillon Road to east of the Cactus City Rest Area will be in place, between 7 p.m. - 5 a.m., for crews to safely set k-rail barriers along the westbound inside shoulder.

Please note, construction is dependent on many variables including weather, construction material, and crew availability. All schedule information is subject to change.
Project Updates
Our team reminds all motorists and freight carriers to utilize roadway shoulders if you are involved in a minor accident or need to pull over. Lane closures and work zones created using k-rail, traffic cones, or other temporary barriers are for construction access only, and should not be utilized by the traveling public.
Project Background
The I-10 Desert Rehab Project segment is a 13 mile stretch of the I-10 freeway near Coachella in Riverside County, between 1.8 miles east of the Dillon Road Interchange and 2 miles east of the Cactus City Rest Area. Construction will take place over the next 3.5 years and includes repaving I-10, updating lane striping, and the addition of an eastbound truck climbing lane. The Cactus City Rest Area will also be closed for 1-2 months during construction. 

In addition to repairing and restoring existing roadway pavement and adding an eastbound truck climbing lane, the I-10 Desert Rehab Project will install electric vehicle charging stations at the Cactus City Rest Area, replace and upgrade bridge railings, guardrail systems, and roadway signage, and improve roadway infrastructure including drainage and stormwater treatment systems.
