Palm Springs, CA, November 9, 2026 — Cathedral City officials have rejected a proposed detour route for cyclists and pedestrians that was put forth by Palm Springs officials. The proposed detour was intended to facilitate navigation during the upcoming two-year closure of the CV Link underpass at Ramon Road, which is scheduled for bridge reconstruction.
The decision by Cathedral City means that individuals using bicycles and walking will not have access to the route proposed by Palm Springs. Consequently, users will be required to utilize an alternative route that is described as longer and less direct than the originally intended path.
The closure of the CV Link underpass at Ramon Road is necessitated by bridge reconstruction work. This infrastructure project is expected to last for a period of two years.
Specific details regarding the rejected detour route, the proposed alternative route, or the reasons for Cathedral City’s rejection were not provided in the available information. The contractor’s name for the bridge reconstruction project was also not provided.
The impact of this rejection means that cyclists and pedestrians will face extended travel times and a less convenient path for commuting or recreation during the extensive construction period at the Ramon Road underpass.
