Document Description
The proposed project would extend the 1-15 Express Lanes currently under construction, an additional 14.5 miles. The proposed new segment would extend from State Route 74 (Central Avenue) (post mile [PM] 22.3) in Lake Elsinore, through the
unincorporated Riverside County community of Temescal Valley, to Cajalco Road (PM 36.8) in Corona. The project proposes to increase capacity by adding two tolled express lanes in both directions within the 1-15 median to accommodate increasing traffic volumes in southwestern Riverside County. Construction of tolled express lanes would begin at post mile (PM) 22.3 and end at PM 36.8 for a distance of 14.5 miles. Associated improvements, including advance signage and transition striping, would extend two 'miles from each end of the project limits to PM 20.3 in the south and PM 38.8 in the north.
