Giant Pothole Shuts Three Lanes on Southbound SR-14 Near Palmdale

Ongoing construction in the same corridor means longer delays are likely.

Overview

  • California Highway Patrol closed lanes 2 through 4 on southbound SR-14 just south of Palmdale Boulevard, leaving only the fast lane open.
  • Officials warn the pothole is large enough to damage vehicles, and drivers are urged to slow down or take alternate routes.
  • Caltrans crews are slated to repair the site, with work expected to begin as soon as crews arrive.
  • Nightly construction closures are already in effect in the area, which is adding to backups for Antelope Valley motorists.
  • A separate 55-hour weekend closure of the southbound lanes between Avenue I and Avenue H is scheduled later this month, and drivers should plan for heavy traffic during that window.
