1300+Drivers in Victorville should plan for slower travel at night near Silverado High School. Utility work on Cobalt Road is reducing traffic to a single lane after dark, and the work runs through November 20, 2026.
The closures began Monday, October 26. This guide covers what to expect and how to stay safe in the work zone.
What We Know About the Cobalt Road Closures
A contractor will perform utility work on Cobalt Road in front of Silverado High School. The affected stretch runs between Arvila Drive and Palmdale Road.
Work will take place every night from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. A written statement announcing the project was released on October 22.
How Traffic Will Move Through the Work Zone
Only one lane will stay open during work hours. Flaggers at each end of the zone will alternate traffic in both directions.
Advance warning signs, traffic cones, and delineators will guide drivers through the area. No detours are expected, and access will be maintained both ways.
When Lanes Reopen
All lanes will reopen during the daytime. Morning commuters and school traffic should not be affected once the overnight crews finish.

Safety Tips for Driving Through the Cobalt Road Work Zone
Single-lane flagger zones at night create real risks. Visibility is lower, traffic backs up, and drivers can get impatient.
Keep these habits in mind:
- Slow down as soon as you see the advance warning signs.
- Follow every flagger instruction, even if the road looks clear.
- Leave extra space between your car and the one ahead.
- Avoid phone use and other distractions.
- Watch for workers, equipment, and crews near the lane.
Allow extra time if you travel Cobalt Road after 7 p.m. A few added minutes is a small price compared to a collision.
