HESPERIA – The City of Hesperia announced, October 7, that Ranchero Road between Seventh Avenue and Cottonwood Avenue will be closed as crews demolish the bridge over the California Aqueduct.

According to the news release, the project is expected to last for at least 10 months while a new bridge with two lanes in each direction is constructed.

The closure will cut off all traffic across the aqueduct.

A hard road closure will also be in effect at Kern Avenue and Eleventh Avenue, where the aqueduct crosses Ranchero Road. Residents within the closed section will still have access to their homes, but no vehicles will be able to pass over the aqueduct.

Detour Route

Hesperia says detours will be posted. 

Motorists are advised to use Main Street or Summit Valley Road to connect to Hwy 138 for access to the I-15 Freeway. 

The city says to expect delays and budget additional time for commutes. 

“Please obey all posted signs, personnel, and speed limits while traveling near the project,” says a statement in the news release.
