Indio to Continue Slurry Seal Project on Avenue 42

Work To Take Place November 19 - 23 between Monroe and Jackson Street

INDIO, CA (November 16, 2018) – The City of Indio Public Works Department has contracted with PMI, Inc. to perform Measure X funded road improvements throughout the City. This will result in lane closures between the hours of 6am and 6pm. Avenue 42 between Monroe Street and Jackson Street will be heavily impacted and access to Avenue 42 from Gore Street and Spectrum Street will be restricted. This week was chosen for the work to avoid the additional traffic that is present when the Oliphant Elementary school is in session. All work will be completed before the Thanksgiving holiday and businesses will not be affected for those days.

The road maintenance schedule is as follows:

Monday, November 19: Number 2 and 3 lanes (those closest to the curb) will be closed on Avenue 42 eastbound from Monroe Street to Jackson Street and on Avenue 42 westbound from Jackson Street through the intersection with Gore Street. Gore Street to the north and Spectrum Street to the south will be CLOSED at the intersection with Avenue 42. Access to business driveways will be maintained at key areas but some secondary accesses will be closed. All businesses will remain open and can be accessed by some Avenue 42 driveways, Jackson Street, Showcase Street, or Monroe Street.

Tuesday, November 20: Number 1 lane (closest to the median) and left turn pockets will be closed on Avenue 42 eastbound from Monroe Street to Jackson Street and on Avenue 42 westbound from Jackson Street through the Gore intersection. Turns from southbound Gore Street to eastbound Avenue 42 will be closed and turns from northbound Spectrum Street to westbound Avenue 42 will be closed. Left turn access into businesses will be closed, but all driveways and businesses will be open.

Wednesday, November 21: Minor delays may be encountered for residual cleanup or small items. There will be no closures.

Thursday, November 22

& Friday, November 23: There will be no work due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The slurry work will be complete except for new striping.
