Niland SR-111 reduced to one lane

State Route 111 at Davis and Gillespie road will be reduced to one lane through Wednesday due to construction work.

According to Caltrans crews are set to extend one way traffic control along State Route 111 at Davis and Gillespie roads, about five miles northwest of Niland . Both directions of traffic will alternate and share the one open lane, day and night during the pile-driving work from the Niland Geyser Mitigation Project.

Starting on Thursday construction will be returning from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

The speed limit will be reduced to 55-mph in construction zones, and motorists are reminded to drive carefully in the area and be aware of highway workers and construction equipment.
