Highway 111 Shutdown - 2 weeks

[chessie]

For all you heading to Imperial County and Wister area:

Highway 111 to shutdown due to migrating geyser

Almost a year ago, a geyser just outside of Niland forced Union Pacific Railroad to move its tracks. Now it’s encroaching towards Highway 111. Caltrans Senior Transportation Engineer, Shawn Rizzuto said, the challenge is the amount of water that's emerging from the geyser.

Better pave Beach (lol) or fix the bridge on Davis (how long has it been out?)

They need to pump that water into Wister or the sea

Can't seem to find anything more online about it.. are they closing the whole highway through the valley or just the portion near Niland/Wister?

Jason,

It would probably be all of Hwy 111...I don't think big semi's are detouring through on Davis...Aerial view.

The work is part of an expedited project to build a temporary road to provide access to SR-111 as a natural-occurring geyser, in existence since 1953, moves toward the existing highway
