FULL WEEKEND CLOSURE OFGREEN RIVER RD. ON-RAMPJune 20 - June 23, 2025

En español

Starting Friday, June 20 at 9 p.m. through Monday, June 23 at 6 a.m., RCTC’s 71/91 Interchange Project will require a full weekend closure of the eastbound 91 Green River Rd. on-ramp in Corona to perform a traffic switch for the new, non-tolled eastbound 91 to northbound 71 connector and realigned eastbound 91 Green River Rd. on-ramp.

This weekend closure will also allow crews to safely complete final construction work. This work includes final lane striping, guardrail and roadway signage installation, and electrical work. During this full weekend closure, crews will permanently close the existing eastbound 91 to northbound 71 loop connector. Crews will also be realigning the eastbound 91 Green River Rd. on-ramp for direct access to the new northbound 71 connector and eastbound 91.

All this phased work is required for crews to safely open the new interchange on Saturday morning, June 21, and the realigned on-ramp on Monday morning, June 23.

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted detours, and allow for extra travel time during these weekend closures.

The Riverside County Transportation Commission, in partnership with Caltrans, is reconstructing the 71/91 interchange 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 mid-2025.
