The California Transportation Commission recently allocated $1.1 billion for projects that will repair and improve the state’s transportation infrastructure, including one High Desert roadway.
The checkpoint will take place at an undisclosed time and place Monday within the jurisdiction of the CHP Area office.
Three High Desert natives were among 121 cadets who recently completed training at the California Highway Patrol Academy in West Sacramento. The trio of new CHP officers include Anthony Ramirez Jr.
The California Highway Patrol is planning a sobriety on Monday in the High Desert to look for any Saint Patrick's Day revelers who decide to get behind the wheel while intoxicated, officials said.
