OVERVIEW
RCTC, the project’s lead agency, in partnership with Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration, began construction of this $1.4 billion project in 2014. The project extended the 91 Express Lanes from the Riverside County/Orange County Line to Interstate 15, providing the first tolled express lanes in Riverside County. This design-build project also added general purpose lanes, auxiliary lanes and an Express Lane Connector between eastbound 91 and southbound I-15 and between northbound I-15 and westbound 91. Improvements also were made to interchanges, ramps and local streets. The new lanes opened March 20, 2017.
The 91 Project was designed to save travel time, offer a choice between the new express lanes and general purpose lanes, provide a reliable commute, enhance safety through faster emergency response, improve access to businesses and homes, add jobs, boost connections to transit and trails, and improve air quality.
