INDIAN CANYON DRIVE CITY SEWER PROJECT
START DATE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 2025
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: MAY 2026
As part of the ongoing Indian Canyon Bridge Widening and Improvements project, the City of Palm Springs is installing approximately 8,900 feet of new sewer pipeline along North Indian Canyon Drive. This new infrastructure will extend from south of Palm Springs Station Road to W. Tramview Road.
This project is scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 23, 2025, with the contractor performing initial survey and utility location work through Friday, July 25, 2025. This preparatory phase will require the closure of the No. 1 northbound lane from W. Tramview Road to Sunrise Parkway. Construction is projected to continue through May 2026.
Traffic control for the Indian Canyon Sewer Project will be placed south of Palm Springs Station Road on Thursday 9/4/2025. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction shifted to the southbound lanes for a portion of the road.
The installation will involve a combination of tunneling beneath concrete pavement in certain areas and open trench methods for the majority of the pipeline. As work progresses, the project will impact both the No. 1 North and Southbound lanes of Indian Canyon Drive, necessitating periodic lane closures in specific sections of the road.
Please exercise caution when traveling through the construction zone and be aware of changing traffic patterns. The Construction Managers will be providing periodic updates on the project as it progresses.
PLEASE USE ALTERNATE ROUTES TO AVOID TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND EXPECT DELAYS AROUND THE AFFECTED AREAS.
GENE AUTRY TRAIL WIND WALL
Lane closure near construction site is ongoing
START DATE: JUNE 2025
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: DECEMBER 2025
Work is under way on the construction of an approximately 590' long brick wall along the North Gene Autry Trail corridor, an area we all know gets pummeled by strong winds and blowing sand - reducing visibility and creating sand dunes on the roadway.
The City Council, at its April 23, 2025 meeting, awarded a construction contract to Deark E&C Inc., in the amount of $2,195,800 million. The majority of the cost is covered by Measure A funds, a half-cent sales tax measure approved by Riverside County voters that provides dedicated funding for local streets and roads and invests in major regional transportation improvements
Work will continue through December 2025. More updates will be provided, including lane closures and other pertinent information.
Some construction photos can be seen on the sidebar of this page
CV LINK CONSTRUCTION ALERT: HIGHWAY 111 & TRAMWAY ROAD
START DATE: JULY 7, 2025
ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: LATE SEPTEMBER 2025
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), as part of their ongoing work on the "CV Link" project, began construction of the CV Link pathway from the Palm Springs Visitors Center along Highway 111 to the recently completed section of pathway along the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel Levee. This work will include street and crosswalk improvements along with replacement of the existing sidewalk & landscaping along Highway 111 adjacent to the communities of Mountain Gate and Palm Springs Villas II.
Residents along Highway 111 may experience periodic construction related noise or vibrations. Construction activities such as soil compaction, excavations, moving heavy machinery, etc., can cause ground borne vibrations that can physically be felt by neighboring properties.
A single lane closure on northbound Highway 111 is planned during construction, with flaggers to help direct traffic. A closure of the sidewalk will also occur along Highway 111 from Tramway Road to the Whitewater River Stormwater Channel.
Please use alternate routes to avoid traffic congestion and expect delays around the affected areas, All dates and times are subject to change due to unforeseen operational factors and/or inclement weather.

MILESTONE MARKER: Western bridge span demolition is finished.
Businesses are open during construction.
The construction team completed the western bridge span demolition. Work continues with shoring construction for the retaining walls and bridge abutment walls. Carpenters are working off-site to pre-fabricate forms that will be used to build the walls.

INTERSTATE 10 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON 11 BRIDGES BETWEEN BEAUMONT & THOUSAND PALMS
START DATE: OCTOBER 2025

STORM DRAIN LINE 6, STAGE 3
ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE: LATE 2027/EARLY 2028
The City of Palm Springs and the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC) are entering into a Funding/Cooperative Agreement for the construction of flood control improvements. The project consists of approximately 4,000 linear feet of reinforced concrete pipe (30-60 inches in diameter) and related structures. This pipeline will collect stormwater from the area and convey it underground along Avenida Caballeros where it will connect to existing storm drain infrastructure on Vista Chino. The goal of this project is to improve stormwater conveyance, reduce flooding risks, and protect property in Palm Springs.
This project is a major undertaking and while the long-term benefits of a flood control project of this nature are undeniable, there will be significant disturbances to traffic and community activities near the construction zone. See location map and typical installation pictures below.
As of mid-2025 This project is in its initial planning stages; residents and the community will not experience any inconvenience from this project until the construction begins, which may tentatively break ground sometime in late 2027 to 2028.
IMPACTED AREA ONCE PROJECT COMMENCES WILL BE BOTH NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND LANES ALONG AVENIDA CABALLEROS BETWEEN FRANCIS DRIVE AND VISTA CHINO (HIGHWAY 111).
