Flooding near Desert Center washed out parts of Interstate 10 on Aug. 24, 2022. The eastbound lanes of Interstate 10, east of State Route 177 and Desert Center, were closed Wednesday evening due to flooding from a storm and an overturned big rig truck, according to the California Department of Transportation. State Route 177 was also closed from I-10 to State Route 62 due to multiple floods and downed power lines, Caltrans said on Twitter. It was unknown when it would reopen. Caltrans urged motorists to delay travel or take State Route 62 to I-10.
