A Better 91: The Riverside Freeway (SR-91)

The SR-91 Westbound and Eastbound Lane Addition Project (Project #2)

Project limits span from SR-55 on the west to SR-241 on the east.

Project Overview – New Lane, Increased Capacity, Improved Operations

A new westbound and eastbound general purpose lane will be added to SR-91 between SR-55 and SR-241.

The new lanes will increase capacity and relieve congestion along this 6-mile stretch of freeway that connects commuters with Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills and Riverside County.

In addition to the new lane, a total of four (4) on/off ramps will be realigned and widened, including Lakeview Avenue, Imperial Highway and Weir Canyon. The realigned and widened on/off-ramps will improve driving operations, making it safer and smoother for motorists.

Project Benefits

A new 5th general purpose lane in both the westbound and eastbound direction
Reconstruction of bridges on both sides of the freeway to accommodate the new lanes
Construction of sound walls along certain locations to freeway noise

When completed, these project improvements are anticipated to improve traffic flow, driving conditions and freeway operations along a key stretch of SR-91.
