The Date Palm Drive bridge itself will be closed to traffic, to minimize delays to freeway traffic being routed through the off and on ramps. All drivers looking to cross the interstate must use either Gene Autry Trail in Palm Springs, or Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage.
If crews are unable to complete the required work tonight and Tuesday night, a freeway closure may occur on Wednesday night from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM to complete any unfinished work.
