SAN BERNARDINO – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues work on a $21.9 M pavement rehabilitation and shoulder widening project on State Route 247 (SR-247). This work is funded through Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017

Constructions signs are now placed throughout the project area, as well as clearing in shoulder areas and placement of high visibility fencing for environmental protections. Work operations will take place near Yucca Valley from the State Route 62 Junction to Gin Road. Project work is expected to be completed by fall 2025. 

What to Expect: Plan-ahead and please be mindful of work area signage as law enforcement will enforce applicable laws and regulations. For daytime and nighttime shoulder works, please proceed cautiously as work vehicles and crews may move in and out of shoulder areas.

Crews will continue culvert work activities on northbound and southbound SR-247 near Aviation Dr. from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Monday (12/22) and Tuesday (12/23). Friday and Saturday night work may occasionally be required from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. 

Major Accomplishment: Project team heard local community’s safety concern on lane striping near Larrea Rd at SR-247. Crews went ahead and install the double solid yellow lines on both SR-247 northbound and southbound lanes approaching Larrea Rd to prevent any driving confusion and collision. 

All work is dependent on contractor receiving proper materials for each job function. It can be changed or canceled at any time. All work is weather permitting.

Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly to avoid potential delays.
