From the Mojave National Preserve website:
Road construction will begin on November 16th, 2026.
South Kelbaker Road will close between Kelso and the southern preserve boundary on Monday, November 16th, 2026. Kelso Dunes, Kelso Dunes primitive camping area, and Granite Pass / Kelbaker Boulders primitive camping area will be closed until the South Kelbaker phase of the road project is completed.This is the first phase of a major road rehabilitation and safety improvement project along approximately 42 miles roads in Mojave National Preserve. Construction will occur in phases and require road closures throughout the project. Closures may result in significant additional travel time, particularly for motorists traveling through the region. Travelers are encouraged to plan ahead, check current road conditions, and identify alternate routes before departing.
The multiyear project is expected to be completed in 2029.
I hadn't seen this information posted anywhere. It's looking like this project will close down and repair the roads one section at a time for at least 2 years...
