CEDAR AVENUE BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION

The Cedar Avenue Bridge over the I-10 and the railroad tracks will be widened in two stages. Crews are tentatively scheduled to partially demolish the east side of the bridge in April 2023 and will work to reconstruct and widen this portion of the bridge through approximately 12 months. 


Traffic has been shifted onto the west half of the bridge to allow crews to perform the partial demolition. To accommodate this shift, Cedar Avenue has been reduced by one lane in each direction between Orange Street and Valley Boulevard. 


  • Northbound (NB) Cedar Avenue will have one through lane (with access to the EB I-10 on-ramp), and one dedicated left turn lane onto the WB I-10 on-ramp.


  • Southbound (SB) Cedar Avenue will have one dedicated right turn lane onto the WB I-10 on-ramp, one through lane, and one dedicated left turn lane onto the EB I-10 on-ramp.

Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes. Traffic delays should be expected during bridge reconstruction, please allow extra time to reach your destination and use caution when traveling through work zones. While the east side of the bridge is under construction, pedestrian access will be maintained across the west side of the bridge.

 

Once reconstruction of the east side of the bridge is completed, crews will then perform bridge widening along the west side, tentatively scheduled to begin in early-2024.

RIGHT TURN RESTRICTION:

ORANGE STREET ONTO NORTHBOUND CEDAR AVENUE

During the reconstruction of the east half of the Cedar Avenue bridge, motorists on Orange Street will be prohibited from making a right turn onto NB Cedar Avenue.


This configuration will be in place for approximately one year wile crews work to widen the east side of the Cedar Avenue bridge. The recommended detour route is shown in green on the map below.

ALERT: SR 210 UPCOMING CLOSURES

The first of six directional 55-hour freeway closures on SR 210 in the cities of Highland and Redlands is scheduled to begin the weekend of April 14.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The I-10/Cedar Avenue Interchange Project is designed to relieve congestion, enhance safety, and improve traffic operations along Cedar Avenue between Bloomington Avenue and Orange Street. The project will widen the I-10 overcrossing and replace the railroad bridge, provide for roadway improvements along Cedar Avenue, and add capacity to the on- and off-ramps from Cedar Avenue to the I-10. During construction activities may include removing and rebuilding of existing and new structures, digging up roads for utility work, pavement and restriping work, installation of new traffic signals, traffic shifts, intermittent lane closures, and ramp closures. Workers and heavy equipment will be present throughout the project corridor and we ask that you allow for extra time to reach your destination as you may experience delays.


Please remember construction is dynamic and the schedule is subject to change.
