This page provides an overview of planned street and roadway projects taking place throughout Palm Desert. The goal is to keep residents informed about upcoming work, anticipated impacts, and general timelines. While the City works closely with project partners to keep schedules up to date, timelines may change due to weather conditions, material availability, or coordination requirements. Although this list represents a comprehensive overview of known projects coordinated by City staff and partner agencies, smaller projects and emergency repairs may occur at any time and may not be listed here.
Gerald Ford Drive
The City of Palm Desert will begin a major improvement project on Gerald Ford Drive between Cook Street and El Paseo del Corazon (the entrance to the Spanish Walk community). This project is designed to enhance safety, improve traffic flow, and upgrade the overall appearance of the corridor. The road will be closed to eastbound traffic during construction, but one lane of westbound traffic will remain.
All businesses are open and residents along the corridor will continue to have access to their homes during construction.
Project Features Include:
New pavement
New medians
Sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveways
Upgraded traffic signals
Underground utility improvements
Enhanced median landscaping to beautify the roadway
Construction Timeline: December 1, 2025 – May 26, 2026
