Project:

As part of ongoing development in The Preserve, the next phase of improvements for Kimball Avenue will soon be underway. This phase focuses on two key initiatives:

• Installing a Reinforced Concrete Box to bridge the North and South Basins near Quality Way.
• Widening to full two lanes on north side of Kimball Ave from Rincon Meadows to Main Street.

Impact:

• Single lane closure with occasional full closures overnight and on weekends. Specific dates to be determined.
• Implementation of concrete K-Rail for grading operations behind traveled lanes.

Project Schedule/Milestones:

Staging of K-Rail begins September 11. Stay tuned for more details on the project timeline, including the precise dates for lane closures. We are committed to keeping you informed every step of the way, and any full closures will be communicated in advance.

City Actions:

In our commitment to keeping you informed, we will take the following steps:

• Notices: Residents south of Kimball Ave and businesses in the vicinity of the construction area will receive notifications with pertinent information. Regular updates will be provided via the construction newsletter and construction portal.
• County Airport Coordination: We have coordinated with the San Bernardino County Airport regarding the construction activities.
• Full Closures: Please note that full closures will only take place during overnight hours and on weekends to minimize disruption.

Merrill Avenue from Euclid Avenue to Stearman Drive

Merrill Avenue is now open in both directions after ongoing construction efforts by the City of Ontario and the Ontario Ranch Development. While there’s still work ahead, the progress achieved so far is a positive step towards enhancing the area’s infrastructure and traffic flow.

Construction Continues: The construction efforts are moving forward as planned, with the current focus being on the north side of Merrill Avenue. In the current phase, construction has shifted the roadway to the south side of Merrill. To ensure minimal disruption to traffic, a single lane in each direction will remain open on Merrill Avenue, spanning from Euclid Avenue to Archibald Avenue. Drive with caution and be aware of traffic control measures in the area.

Grove Ave Closure: Grove Avenue will remain closed (Eucalyptus Avenue to Merrill Avenue) for an extended duration. Please consider alternative routes via Sultana, Bon View Avenue and Carpenter Avenue.

All-Way Stops: Temporary all-way stops are at intersections on Merrill Avenue at Sultana Avenue, Bon View Avenue and Hellman Avenue. New traffic signals are in the works to enhance safety and traffic management.

Upcoming Closures: Short-term lane and roadway closures along Merrill Avenue are expected. No future long-term closures are planned.

Euclid Ave Enhancements: Euclid Avenue will also continue to experience construction activity, with public improvements continuing from Eucalyptus Avenue to Merrill Avenue, including significant modifications at the signalized intersections and frontage improvements.

More About the Project:

As part of the Ontario Ranch Business Park development, extensive improvements to Merrill Avenue near the intersection of Euclid are underway. The Ontario developer will be installing major underground utilities like sewer, storm drain and water connections.

Access to the Chino Airport and its businesses will be maintained at all times from the east on Merrill Avenue at Bon View Avenue.
