Where: US Hwy 395 & SR 14 – Various Locations Inyo County - Crews will be fog sealing US 395 & SR 14 as per the following schedule to extend the life of the roadway.

  • May 21, 2012 Mojave (SR 14) post mile 15.8 – 17.4 starting at 4:00 am

Please be advised that there may be 20 minute delays. Flaggers will be directing traffic. Slow down and watch for highway workers. When approaching the construction zone the travelling public is advised to reduce their speed, observe the construction signs, and watch for construction personnel and equipment. ###
