OVERVIEW
The Riverside County Transportation Commission, in coordination with Caltrans, the Orange County Transportation Authority, the Transportation Corridor Agencies, and the City of Corona, is proposing to add a lane to eastbound 91 from the 241 Toll Road connector to Route 71 in Corona. The new lane is intended to help improve traffic operations on eastbound 91, especially during afternoon and evening hours.
This highway segment was included in the 2012 environmental document for the 91 Corridor Improvement Project but was deferred due to funding constraints. RCTC expects to award an engineering and environmental contract in mid-2023 to study four design alternatives. These alternatives will require environmental revalidation and an updated scoping document to identify the preferred alternative. This phase of work is expected to take two to three years.
RCTC expects to award an engineering and environmental consultant contract in mid-2023 to study design alternatives, which will require environmental revalidation and an updated scoping document to identify the preferred alternative.
Following the selection of the preferred alternative, RCTC will seek funding for future project phases, including final design and construction. The timing of project delivery is dependent on funding.
