Palm Springs, CA
Construction crews will begin roadwork on Sunrise Way starting July 20 as part of the ongoing Palm Springs Public Library Renovation Project, according to the city.
Swinerton Construction, the contractor overseeing the project, will lead the roadway work, which is designed to accommodate an expanded south parking lot and a new driveway entrance restricted to right turns only. The project also includes construction of a median.
During construction, Sunrise Way will be reduced to a single lane between Baristo Road and Camino Parocela, with intermittent lane closures expected throughout the project timeline. Work crews will operate from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The project is expected to run through Nov. 13, 2026.
City officials are urging motorists to plan ahead for delays, reduce speed through the work zone, and follow all posted signage and directions from construction personnel. Drivers are also encouraged to seek alternative routes during construction hours to help minimize traffic impacts.
Additional project information and updates are available through Engage Palm Springs at the Library Retrofit-Renovation-Expansion project page.
While the renovation is underway, the Palm Springs Public Library is operating out of a temporary location at Rimrock Plaza Shopping Center, 4721 E. Palm Canyon Drive, at the corner of Gene Autry Trail and East Palm Canyon Drive. For more information, call the library at 760-322-READ (7323) or visit pslibrary.org.
