Document Description
The City of Perris (City), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation District 8 (Caltrans), proposes to construct a new overcrossing bridge on I-215 at Ellis Avenue. The proposed overcrossing will include general-purpose travel lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps.
The proposed Project will accommodate future traffic demand along Ellis Avenue due to industrial, commercial, and residential developments planned near the project area. It will also help improve transportation efficiency within the City by creating another east-west corridor to cross I-215. The project will extend Ellis Avenue 1.3 mi (Alternative 3) to 1.4 mi (Alternative 2) with 342 feet located within Caltrans right of way, from its current terminus on the west side of I-215 and end at San Jacinto Avenue on the east side. Construction will take place a total of 2 years and is anticipated to begin in 2031.
