If your mid-February plans include a spin on State Route 91 (SR-91) in Corona, you might want to reconsider. Six miles will be completely closed in both directions for 55 hours.
As part of the 91 Project from the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) that will bring improved transportation to Riverside County, the SR-91 will be closed in both directions between State Route 71 (SR-71) and Interstate 15 (I-15) beginning Friday, Feb. 19 at 9 p.m. until Monday, Feb. 22 at 4 a.m.
The closure will allow crews to perform three major construction activities:
- Demolish the west side of the Maple Street Bridge over the SR-91
- Install support beams for the new westbound Maple Street flyover ramp bridge
- Pave the new eastbound SR-91 alignment near I-15
If you must travel, consider state routes 57 and 60 and Interstate 10. Motorists traveling on the SR-91, SR-71 or I-15 near the project area during the closure period can expect delays of three to four hours.
OCTA and RCTC remind you to drive safely by exercising extra caution in construction areas.
