Crews are anticipated to perform construction activities that will require a full Lakeview Avenue street closure between Santa Ana Canyon Road and the WB SR-91 off-ramp at Lakeview as early as Friday, May 8 (into Saturday morning):


Closures:

  • As early as 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.:
  • Lakeview Avenue between Santa Ana Canyon Road and the WB SR-91 on-ramp at Lakeview
  • EB SR-91 on-ramp at Lakeview
  • WB SR-91 on-ramp at Lakeview

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.

Segment 1: Lakeview to SR-55

Temporary Lakeview Configuration

Motorists traveling both northbound (NB) and southbound (SB) on Lakeview Avenue will now use a new signalized intersection to access the newly realigned WB SR-91 straight on-ramp, and the WB SR-91 loop on-ramp at Lakeview Avenue has been permanently closed.


In this configuration, the eastern side of Lakeview Avenue is fully closed to pedestrians through August 2026. The western side is accessible to pedestrians.


Crews are hard at work. You may notice more traffic than usual. Please allow for extra time or utilize alternative routes. 

Lakeview Avenue Bridge Construction

Crews are installing and tightening strong steel rods (rebar) within the bridge structure. Once tensioned, these strands compress the concrete, increasing strength and durability for future motorists.


Crews are also constructing the diaphragms between the bridge girders. These structural elements connect the beams, improving stability and distributing weight evenly across the bridge.

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.

Project Wall Activities

Sound and Retaining Wall Construction

Crews continue work on a sound wall along the WB SR-91 on-ramp and a retaining wall along the EB SR-91 on-ramp. Daily construction activities will start as early as 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The new wall is anticipated to be complete by mid-2026.

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.

Segment 2: SR-55 to SR-57

Construction on Segment 2 of the SR-91 Improvement Project is expected to begin in mid-2026.

Segment 3: SR-57 Interchange

State College Boulevard Construction Activities

Crews have started striping activities and are installing temporary lighting and traffic control systems in the Segment 3 construction zone. Work will occur during both daytime and nighttime hours, with nighttime operations expected throughout much of the week. State College Boulevard will remain open to traffic; however, overnight lane reductions, ramp closures, and connector closures are required to safely complete this work.


More information will be provided in upcoming construction alerts.

Overview

The SR-91 (SR-57 to SR-55) Improvement Project will improve 6.6 miles of State Route 91 (SR-91) through Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Placentia and Yorba Linda. The project will improve mobility throughout the corridor, reduce weaving and merging between ramps, and improve on- and off-ramps. The project will reconstruct the La Palma Avenue, Kraemer Boulevard/Glassell Street, Tustin Avenue and Lakeview Avenue bridges and interchanges with standard lanes, shoulders and sidewalks in each direction.
