More About The Project:

The ST162 and TR171 projects are part of the City's Capital Improvement Program. The purpose of the project is to grind and repave the roads, resulting in a smoother ride. The project team is committed to minimizing any disruption to the community while working to enhance the quality of the roads. Throughout the project, local businesses will have access to their premises at all times. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra time for travel, and follow posted detours as necessary. Cooperation from the public is appreciated as the project moves forward.

SR-71 and Sr-91 Lane Closures

Impact:

Various overnight lane and ramp closures. See table below for details.



More About the Project:

The Riverside County Transportation Commission, in partnership with Caltrans, is reconstructing the 71/91 Interchange Project in Corona.

The new non-tolled interchange is designed to improve safety, expand access to other modes of travel, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance traffic flow, and support continued movement of native wildlife through the area. Construction will take place from early 2023 to 2025.

New and improved! The Schaefer/Roswell intersection received a makeover with a fully 'protected' left turn.

What does this mean? Left turns are only permitted during the green arrow indication.

Previously, this traffic signal allowed left turns during both the green arrow and the green light. This change was made as several accidents had occurred at this intersection where drivers were making a permissive westbound left turn and failed to yield to approaching eastbound traffic.

This fully protected left turn will eliminate the risk of collisions, ensuring a smoother traffic flow. In addition, the traffic signal timing has been adjusted, to minimize delay for the heavy westbound left turn traffic. Flags on the traffic signal and a message board on Schaefer were added to increase awareness of the change.

A special thank you to traffic division and public works crew for making this traffic light improvement! So go ahead and make that left turn with confidence, Chino! Drive safe and enjoy the ride.
