OVERVIEW

The Riverside County Transportation Commission, in coordination with Caltrans, the Orange County Transportation Authority, the Transportation Corridor Agencies, and the City of Corona, will add a lane to eastbound State Route 91 from the 241 Toll Road connector to State Route 71 in Corona.
