Construction Alert: South Palm Canyon Drive Bridge Demolition Brings Lane Closures and Reduced Speeds

Our top story this morning is a traffic alert for drivers in Palm Springs. Major construction is set to impact commutes along South Palm Canyon Drive as the Western Bridge demolition kicks off this week.

The project will bring long-term lane closures to the area surrounding the bridge. While left turns at Sunny Dunes Road will still be allowed from both directions, drivers should expect delays and detours.

Additionally, the speed limit in the construction zone will be reduced to 30 miles per hour to ensure safety for both drivers and construction crews.

City officials urge motorists to plan ahead, use alternate routes if possible, and follow posted signage and speed limits in the work zone.
