A bumpy road that connects La Quinta and Indio is set to get fixed

The Cities of Indio and La Quinta are set to fix the bumpy intersection at Jefferson Street and Highway 111.

The intersection is filled with potholes, dips, and bumps. "We always have to be careful, we will always have to slow down," said Luc Pelletier, an Indio resident. "Because there's just so much of so much of a gap there and so many potholes."

From December 11th through the 23rd, residents and motorists should expect travel delays and signs indicating a one-lane in each direction route.

"The good thing is that these improvements are going to be happening overnight from 9 pm to 5:30 am," said Miguel Ramirez-Cornejo, the Economic Development Manager with the city of Indio.

"We moved here a little over three and a half years ago," said Doug Eagleson. "From day one, I always thought, oh, they'll probably fix that this year. Well, you know, year later, well, you know, maybe this year, maybe next year."

Residents in close proximity to the intersection should expect to hear noise and feel some vibrations from the construction.

This is a joint project between the Cities of Indio and La Quinta. The objective is to restore the appearance of the street pavement.

What to expect:

  • Removal of existing deteriorated asphalt and base.
  • Construction of new asphalt pavement.
  • Reconstruction of pedestrian ramps.
  • Striping the new asphalt surface

"if we have to put up with a little bit of issues for a couple of weeks," said Pelletier. "Just fix it."

The total construction cost for the project is $899,300 and the county's Measure A is funding the project, not to be confused with La Quinta's Measure A.
