NORTHBOUND I-15 RANCHO CALIFORNIA LOOP ON-RAMP REOPENED EARLY
The Riverside County Transportation Commission I-15 Smart Freeway Pilot Project required an extended closure of the Rancho California loop on-ramp for northbound I-15 in Temecula. The loop on-ramp reopened on Sunday, August 24, at 7:30 a.m. A huge thanks to our hard-working and dedicated construction crews for making it happen!
RCTC, in partnership with Caltrans, the City of Temecula, and the Western Riverside County Council of Governments are implementing an innovative corridor approach for improved traffic operations on northbound I-15 from the San Diego/Riverside County Line in Temecula to the I-15/I-215 Interchange in Murrieta.
Designed as a two-year pilot project, the project is anticipated to improve overall traffic flow and reduce rear-end collisions by maintaining steady travel speeds within the I-15 corridor, without highway expansion and related construction costs and impacts.
