    The project on Imperial Dam Road (IDR) that is the access way to U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is expected to wrap up in late February.

    Project Engineer Eric Jimenez with YPG’s Directorate of Public Work detailed the steps that still need to get done before drivers can enjoy a construction free zone.

    Jimenez explains, that in early January, crews will build up the shoulder evening out the roadway. Drivers will see temporary striping and new road signs at this time.

    In early to mid-January the detours will be removed, and the speed-limit will increase to 45 mph miles per hours.

    The final task to wrap the project will be adding the permanent striping, which is scheduled for Feb. 26, 2025.

    Drivers may recall construction began Sept. 10, 2024, to install culverts to avoid flooding after heavy monsoon storms.
