Safety Concerns Shut Down Popular Highway 395 Access Point

ADELANTO – The City of Adelanto announced in a Thursday morning press release that the access to Highway 395 from Adelanto Road has been discontinued.

“We have taken steps to remove a dangerous access point and it will improve the safety for travelers in that area,” said Mayor Rich Kerr.  “Too often people traveling Adelanto Road underestimate how fast traffic is moving along 395 and they try to make a left turn that too many times has ended in disaster, we had to take action.”

The closure is from south of the Ballpark Storage at 16488 Adelanto Road to the Adelanto Road dead end at Highway 395. Those needing to access Highway 395 are able to do so using Rancho Road or Air Expressway both just north of the closure.

“People traveling northbound on Highway 395 will still be able to exit at Adelanto Road as that would not pose a safety hazard,” said Kerr.
