Adobe Road in Twentynine Palms reopens Friday with limited lanes; crews continue working

UPDATE 06/06/2025:

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. (KESQ) - After Tuesday's downpour caused enough flooding, mud, and debris to make many area roads dangerous and impassable, the City of Twentynine Palms reported Friday evening that Adobe Road is now open, but down to one lane going north and south.

They say the city's Public Works crew will continue working hard to completely open Adobe Road by next week.

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. (KESQ) - A major road remains closed Wednesday after a storm brought flooding to Twentynine Palms.

As of 3 p.m. Wednesday, Adobe Road from Raymond Way to Amboy is closed all lane is all directions. City officials said there is between two feet to two and a half feet of standing water in the “Adobe Punchbowl.”

Indian Trail from Lear to Mesquite Springs is in an unknown condition.

The City's Public Works Crew is finishing up clearing debris off the following roads. While the roads are now passable, constituents still need to travel with caution:

• Mesquite Springs has been cleared from Two Mile to Indian Trail
• Indian Trail has been cleared from Mesquite Springs to Adobe Road
• Raymond Way has been cleared from Mesquite Springs to Adobe.

At the Marine Corps Base (MCAGCC), the Condor and Main gates are open. Ocotillo Gate is open for inbound traffic only, pending the clearing of Morongo Road.

"We are operating on a late-start this morning, with non-essential personnel reporting at 0900 to keep the roads clear of traffic for the road crews," reads an update from the city.

Videos from residents on Tuesday around the area show flooding around the town, as well as hail.

News Channel 3 spoke with local drivers who jumped in to help neighbors stuck in the storm.

"I did several tonight for free. The CHP, says to go, we go," David Bailey said. "It's normally $250 an hour, but we're not getting paid today."

Lisa Nieves, Twentynine Palms resident, said the community comes together during situations like this. "We're just going to move on and look for another day tomorrow," Nieves said.
