Multiple Road, Trail Closures Expected Across Texas, California, Minnesota

Multiple road and trail closures are scheduled across several states this week due to construction and maintenance projects. In Texas, the Department of Transportation announced lane closures and roadwork on North and South Desert roads, I-10, and Artcraft Road, including bridge widening and electrical work. Minnesota's MnDOT will close the Leaf River Road/Otter Tail County Road 75 access starting September 17 for reconstruction, with detours and lane restrictions in place on Highway 10 and nearby routes. In California, Turlock will see full closures at key intersections on South Golden State Boulevard for about a month as Union Pacific Railroad replaces track panels and roadway improvements are made to enhance safety and traffic flow. Additionally, in Bakersfield, intermittent closures of the Kern River Parkway multi-use trail near Truxtun Lakes are expected from September 15 to 19 due to Water Department maintenance work, with possible rescheduling due to weather. Drivers and trail users are advised to follow posted detours and exercise caution in the affected areas.
