For the fourth week in a row, Caltrans plans to close 12 miles of the eastbound 60 Freeway between Ontario and Riverside and expect more traffic than normal this weekend with Tailgate Fest in town.
According to the Press Enterprise, the eastbound 60 is poised to shut between the 15 Freeway in Jurupa Valley and the 60-91-215 junction in Riverside at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16. It will then reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19. The closure ams to give construction workers room to rip out crumbling 60-year-old pavement and pour new concrete lanes.
Because of Tailgate Fest, Caltrans is recommending drivers avoid the 60 and instead take the 91 or 10 freeways to get around. It would also be a good idea for drivers to avoid the 15 freeway through Eastvale.
For festival goers looking to take Millken Avenue to Tailgate Fest, the westbound 60 off-ramp at Milliken will be closed, while the eastbound off-ramp at Milliken will remain open.
Be patient and have fun this weekend!
