I-15 Bridge Repairs Near Yermo and Ghost Town Road May Continue Into January 2027

YERMO, Calif. — Drivers traveling Interstate 15 between Yermo Road and the Ghost Town Road interchange may encounter planned bridge maintenance as part of a Caltrans project covering multiple highway structures around the Barstow and Yermo area.

What the project includes

According to the San Bernardino County First District’s August construction bulletin, Caltrans’ preventive maintenance program covers 16 bridges on Interstate 15 and Interstate 40. Work includes concrete overlays, pavement repairs and replacement of bridge joints to extend the structures’ service life.

When traffic may be affected

The county’s public notice described a schedule of work Monday through Saturday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., with lane and ramp restrictions possible, and a projected completion date of January 2027. These are planning windows, not a claim that a particular ramp is closed tonight. The project’s scope includes I-15 near Ghost Town Road and Yermo Road.

Where to check before driving

For current lane closures and highway conditions, consult Caltrans QuickMap or the official Caltrans road conditions service. Travelers to and from Yermo, Calico and Barstow should allow extra time if current signs or notices announce overnight restrictions.
