Document Description: NOTE: Reference SCH# 2009031021. Caltrans is formally initiating studies for the proposed High Desert Corridor-New State Route 138 project (also known as the E-220 Corridor) from State Route 14 in Los Angeles County to State Route 18 in San Bernardino County. The proposed alignment will connect the City of Palmdale with the Town of Apple Valley. The new freeway/expressway is ~63 miles long. Improvements to this corridor are considered necessary to provide for the existing and projected traffic demand attributed to growth and increasing developments in the northern portion of Los Angeles County and the Victor Valley region of San Bernardino County.
