N. Indian Canyon in Desert Hot Springs will reopen Friday

North Indian Canyon Dr. at Pierson in Desert Hot Springs will reopen on Friday, May 3, 2024. The road has been closed since it was destroyed by Hilary in August 2023.

The City of Desert Hot Springs said in addition to repairing the road, they also wanted to make improvements to help alleviate future weather-related closures. This includes three large, concrete culverts to allow both water and wildlife to pass easily under the road.

The cost to repair all the various roads in Desert Hot Springs affected by the storm totals almost $9.5 million. Fortunately, a large part of the costs are reimbursed by the federal government.
