A stretch of the 10 Freeway that was shut down when heavy rain washed out a bridge halfway between Coachella and the Arizona border over the weekend will reopen Friday, officials announced.
Starting at noon that day, one lane will be open in each direction, the California Department of Transportation said.
Thirty feet of the eastbound lanes washed away in Sunday’s storm. Caltrans said the bridge supporting the westbound lanes will be strengthened so it can bear the two-way traffic as repairs are made to the other side.
Existing detours are to remain in effect for the next few days.
