In San Bernardino County, California, the National Park Service (NPS) announced on November 4 that it will begin a major road rehabilitation and safety improvement project in Mojave National Preserve
The first phase closes South Kelbaker Road between Kelso and the preserve's southern boundary near Interstate 40, starting Monday, November 16. Kelso Dunes, the Kelso Dunes primitive camping area, and the Granite Pass / Kelbaker Boulders primitive camping area will be closed until the South Kelbaker phase of the road project is completed. Construction will occur in phases and require road closures throughout the project.
The public is invited to a virtual meeting on Monday, November 9, at 4 p.m. Pacific Time, via Microsoft Teams, to learn more about the project, anticipated construction phases, road closures, and potential travel impacts, with time for questions. Other primary paved roads in the preserve remain open. The Kelso Depot Visitor Center's indoor area remains closed for rehabilitation of its heating and cooling system, while its outdoor areas, restrooms, parking lot, and water filling station stay open. The park advises checking its current conditions page for road conditions, closures, and project updates before traveling.
