The Point: Closures will allow crews to safely remove support structures above the eastbound 91
Traveling through Corona at night this summer? There are road closures in the works that you should know about. Motorists driving on the eastbound 91 Monday through Wednesday nights should plan ahead for traffic delays. Starting Monday, July 15, weeknight closures of the eastbound 91 general purpose lanes and Express Lanes are scheduled as part of the 71/91 Interchange Project in Corona. The eastbound Green River Road on-ramp will also be closed at night.
Closures are as scheduled:
- LOCATION: Eastbound 91, from Green River Rd. to Serfas Club Dr./Auto Center Dr.
- Includes eastbound 91 general purpose lanes, Express Lanes, and Green River Rd. on-ramp
- DAYS & TIMES: Nightly, Monday through Wednesday from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.
- DURATION: July 15 – August 14, 2024
The southbound 71 connectors to eastbound and westbound 91 will remain open.
The closures will allow crews to safely remove support structures above the eastbound 91 that were constructed in 2023 and early 2024. These support structures were used to form the foundation of the new connector. The removal process will take place over several weeks, Monday through Wednesday nights, beginning July 15.
Motorists traveling on the eastbound 91 are advised to avoid the area and use northbound 57 to eastbound 60 to the southbound 71. Corona residents may use Green River Rd. to Palisades Drive to Serfas Club Dr./Auto Center Dr. to enter eastbound 91. Motorists should allow extra travel time to reach local businesses, which will remain open. Fire, police, and ambulance services will have access for emergency response.
Construction activity is subject to change due to site conditions, weather, or other factors. If the work cannot be completed, it will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
