The Riverside County Transportation Commission’s Mid County Parkway Ramona Expressway project will require extended weekend closures of Lakeview Ave and 6th St, starting Friday, November 13 at 9 p.m. through Monday, November 16 at 5 a.m. These closures will allow crews to safely perform paving, drainage, and electrical work. By completing work at both intersections during a single weekend, one additional weekend closure will be eliminated. Ramona Expressway will remain open in both directions during the closure.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is making major improvements along an 8.6 mile stretch of Ramona Expressway, from one mile east of Rider Street to Warren Road. This corridor has experienced a high number of collisions and is identified as a high priority for safety and access improvements. Once complete, the project will create a safer, more reliable roadway for residents, commuters, businesses, and visitors.

Project improvements include:


  • One new lane in each direction
  • A raised center median
  • A new bridge over the San Jacinto River
  • Traffic signal upgrades
  • A new wildlife crossing


Construction will continue through 2028. While this work is underway, we appreciate your patience as crews make these long-term improvements. Drivers should plan for extra travel time, slow down, and stay alert near work areas. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained as much as possible throughout construction.
