The bridge collapse about 50 miles west of California's border with Arizona prompted Caltrans on Monday to advise local motorists to avoid using the 10 Freeway -- until further notice.
East-west traffic on the interstate is being diverted throughout the desert.
Use detour routes such as Arizona Route 95 to Interstate 40 (I-40), Interstate 8 (I-8) to State Route 111 (SR-111) to State Route (SR 86) or State Route 177 (SR 177) to State Route 62 (SR 62) to access the 10 Freeway.
