Indian Canyon Drive Bridge Project (CVAG)

Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) in July 2023 applied for Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program (LTCAP) funding - a new grant program administered by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) addressing Climate Change, Emergencies and Sandstorms (ACCESS).

CVAG applied for and received the $50 million grant for this project.

ACCESS will provide:

  • Two bridges at low-water crossings on Indian Canyon Drive.
  • Two miles of a solar shaded bike path, that connects Desert Hot Springs to CV Link.
  • A wildlife undercrossing protecting the ecosystem for endangered and protected species in alignment with the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
  • Two miles of sand fencing up to Amtrak’s Palm Springs Station
  • The total project cost is $74.9 million.
  • Considerably lower than the $250 million original estimates to build a bridge for the entire length of Indian Canyon Drive.
