CORONA, Calif. (KNX) — Known for its uneven, bumpy roads, congested traffic, and constant construction, the 91 Freeway will test Southern California drivers this weekend as a nearly 4-mile stretch of road shuts down for repairs.
Drivers should steer clear of the SR-91 Freeway in Corona this weekend as an extended road closure lasts from Friday evening to Monday morning. Construction crews will tackle several projects for the ever-busy roadway.
All eastbound lanes will close from Main Street to just west of Interstate 15 to repave lanes, including both the eastbound 91 Express Lanes and eastbound 91 Main Street on-ramp, beginning at 9 p.m. Friday and continuing through 5 a.m. Monday.
The I-15 and SR-91 interchange will remain open to traffic.
Officials said to anticipate extensive delays and avoid the area if possible. Alternate routes include the SR-60, SR-71, or SR-57. Drivers can also reconnect to the 91 via I-15 or I-215.
The Riverside County Transportation Commission hopes this work eases some of the problems plaguing drivers, with more work planned in the future.
"The 91 Refresh Project is allowing us to repave the lanes on the 91, they're uneven right now and we want a smoother commute," said Aaron Hake, the Deputy Executive Director of RCTC. "There may be significant delays. There are a lot of people moving on the weekends, sometimes just as many as during the weekdays."
"The public should be aware that more closures are on the way on the 15 and the 91 in future weekends. So, please stay tuned," Hake added, noting he could not yet share exact dates for future projects.
