Monroe Street Paving Project Starts Wednesday In Coachella Valley

INDIO, CA — Indio officials Tuesday said an annual street paving project, slated to begin Wednesday, will prompt delays for residents and motorists on Monroe Street.

Work will take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday on Monroe Street from Avenue 48 to Avenue 52. It is expected to conclude on Jan. 15.

The road work will involve grinding out the top layers of asphalt and applying a new layer of fresh asphalt to improve driving conditions.

Officials said street parking will not be permitted during the paving activities, and work will be completed in sections to reduce disruption.

Additionally, motorists and bicyclists in the area were advised to anticipate delays and were encouraged to use alternate routes.

Funding was provided by SB1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which provides repair and maintenance of streets, roads and highways.
