A portion of Ian Street in downtown El Centro will be closed beginning Sunday.

According to the City of El Centro, the closure will affect an area from 8th and Main east to approximately the midpoint of the car wash on the Northeast corner. The closure is needed to allow construction and infrastructure improvements in the downtown area. It's part of the Embellece El Centro project, a downtown revitalization program that will include beautification and infrastructure improvements. The project is funded by a combination of a Caltrans grant and Measure P funds. The closure is expected to remain in effect through Sunday, June 14, 2026.
