All Lanes Open Following I-10 Sigalert In Banning

BANNING, CA — A collision involving several vehicles clogged up traffic Wednesday morning on Interstate 10 in Banning.

The crash involved between four and five vehicles and occurred around 7:50 a.m. within an eastbound crossover lane near Eighth Street erected as part of a Caltrans construction project, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Injury information was not immediately available.

The crash blocked the single lane, and a Sigalert was issued as traffic backed up. At approximately 10:45 a.m., Caltrans tweeted that all lanes had reopened.

Caltrans deployed the temporary crossover lane along about five miles of roadway between Banning and Cabazon over the summer as part of the I-10 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, also called the I-10 Tune-Up.

The roughly five-mile temporary lane was built to allow eastbound traffic to cross onto the opposing side of the roadway onto a separated lane from the others to avoid daytime lane closures associated with the project, according to Caltrans.
