Palm Springs Police Announce Road Closures Due to High Winds

The Palm Springs Police Department has issued a warning regarding road closures caused by high winds and low visibility from blowing sand. The affected roads include North Gene Autry Trail at the wash between Salvia Road and Via Escuela, as well as Indian Canyon Drive at the wash between Sunrise Parkway and Palm Springs Station Road.

In addition to these closures, Vista Chino at the wash between Clubhouse View Drive and the city limits has now been reopened, providing some relief for drivers. However, caution is still advised, as other areas remain impacted by the strong winds.

These closures are a precautionary measure to ensure driver safety, as visibility is dangerously low in the affected areas. Drivers are urged to avoid these routes and find alternative paths to reach their destinations.

The Palm Springs Police Department continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as conditions change. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and prioritize safety while traveling in these conditions.
