Why is this Project Needed?

Due to traffic congestion at the State Route 91/State Route 71 interchange, drivers currently experience about one hour of delay during peak travel times on this section of SR-91. The traffic demand is expected to increase by more than 100 percent during peak hours by 2030.

This project will meet needs related to traffic congestion relief, air quality improvements, economic expansion, the movement of goods, and the connection between Riverside County, Orange County, and San Bernardino County.

The purpose of the proposed State Route 91/State Route 71 interchange improvement project is to reduce congestion, improve mobility and connectivity, and enhance the safety of the traveling public by increasing the carrying capacity of the facility and by minimizing the recurring bottleneck at the interchange.
