TRAVEL ALERT: Plan for delays on westbound Interstate 8 at California line

Consider alternate routes to avoid delays with a westbound lane closed on Colorado River bridge

Drivers heading to Yuma and Southern California for Christmas should plan for delays on Interstate 8 with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) closing one of the two westbound lanes on the bridge over the Colorado River near downtown Yuma.  

According to Caltrans, the right-lane closure on the bridge will remain in place until an emergency maintenance repair project is completed in January. For updates, visit the Caltrans website and click on the link for District 11 – Imperial and San Diego counties.

Motorists bound for Southern California may wish to consider using I-10 and allow extra time because of heavy holiday traffic.
