Description :
Add capacity in the westbound direction and provide operational improvements at on and off ramps to the SR-91 between I-5 and the Orange Freeway (SR-57).
Status:
Work continued on OCTA’s effort to advance an environmental document to add a new westbound lane to the Riverside Freeway (SR-91) between I-5 and SR-57 in the Anaheim area. This effort is looking at environmental and design issues related to adding the new lane and identifies the most practical approach with the least impact on existing properties along the freeway.
Present Day Congestion:
Today, this segment of SR-91 carries about 256,000 vehicles and has about 3,800 daily vehicle hours of delay.
Benefits:
The project will increase freeway capacity and reduce congestion. By 2030, this volume is expected to increase by nearly 13 percent, bringing it up to 289,900 vehicles per day.
Cost (2005 $):
$140.0 million.
Issues:
Contingent on findings from environmental document (estimated 2010 completion).
External Funding:
None at this time.
Risks:
Limited right-of-way in certain sections may require non-standard shoulder and lane widths to minimize right-of-way acquisition.
