With the Coachella Music & Art Festival getting ready to open tomorrow (Friday)
... today is expected to be one of the busiest traffic days of the year in
the Coachella Valley ... so authorities have identified a series of routes
likely to be problematic for festival-goers and locals alike. Music fans are
expected to begin their pilgrimage to Indio today ... and major congestion is
anticipated on multiple routes. Indio city officials say motorists should
expect traffic delays starting today and continuing through Sunday on the
following stretches: southbound Jefferson, Washington and Monroe streets from
the 10 Freeway to Avenue 52 ... Avenue 48 between Jefferson and Jackson streets
... Highway 111 at Jefferson and Monroe streets ... and eastbound 10 Freeway
exits at Jefferson, Monroe and Washington streets.
Once the festival ends this weekend and next ... nearly 40-thousand
campers are expected to be leaving the festival site ... causing significant
traffic on the 10 Freeway. Indio officials strongly encourage festival-goers to
take advantage of the Any Line Shuttle ... which costs 80 dollars for the
entire weekend and services hotels in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indian Wells
and other local resorts.
