Flood & Blowsand Control
The Traffic Relief Plan (TRP) is a comprehensive strategy to repair roads, reduce congestion, complete long-needed freeway projects, and improve safe, reliable travel options across Riverside County. The TRP ensures that our roads, bridges, and infrastructure are able to withstand natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, and blowsand.
The plan makes investments to reinforce roadways and infrastructure against natural hazards in the Coachella Valley.
Examples of flood and blowsand control include:
- Building bridges and other resilient infrastructure in the Coachella Valley, particularly along:
- Indian Canyon
- Gene Autry Trail
- Dillon Road
- Addressing persistent flooding along Box Canyon Drive and the communities of Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, and Cathedral City
