Crews are actively working on several improvements along the corridor, including rebuilding sidewalks, driveways, and curbs, installing storm drains and utilities, and preparing for new streetlight and traffic signal foundations. These activities will continue over the next several weeks and may result in temporary impacts to driveways and pedestrian routes. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

Work will generally occur Monday through Friday during daytime hours (6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), with intermittent nighttime work (6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.). Intermittent lane closures will take place along the project corridor, with at least one lane remaining open to traffic at all times.

The West Valley Connector (WVC) project will be a 100% zero-emission Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, the first stage of the San Bernardino County zero-emission Bus Initiative and second BRT route in San Bernardino County.

Phase I of the project is 19 miles and will upgrade a portion of existing Route 61 which runs along Holt Boulevard, adding approximately 3.5 miles as center-running, dedicated bus-only lanes. There will be 21 stations in Phase I that will provide an improved transit connection to Ontario International Airport (ONT) and help build transit connectivity by linking ONT, two Metrolink lines (San Bernardino and Riverside) and multiple major activity centers along the route including Ontario Mills and Victoria Gardens. Headways will be 10 minutes in the peak commute period and 15 minutes off-peak, providing a high level of service to the community.
