Ranchero Road Widening Project In December, the City of Hesperia and County of San Bernardino will begin widening the five-mile stretch of Ranchereo Road between the interchange and underpass from two to five lanes. Construction is expected to last 18 months with intermittent closures in place. Residents can expect noise during construction and detours posted onsite. Keep up with the latest project updates and traffic notices by enrolling in Hesperia Alerts at https://www.cityofhesperia.us/list.aspx. The Ranchero Road Corridor is a major east-west corridor in the Mojave River Valley carrying more than 15,000 motorists each day. To accomodate an increase in traffic and vigorous growth in the community, the City has invested significantly into expanding the Corridor’s capacity. This $54 million project is made possible with support from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, San Bernardino County, and local and state funds. The Ranchero Road Widening Project is the final phase of a 3 phase process. Previous phases of the project included the installation of an underpass at the BNSF Railroad tracks and an interchange at the intersection of Ranchero Road and Interstate 15. Additional installments of Phase III involve constructing a new bridge over the California aqueduct, widening the at-grade crossing at the UPRR railroad tracks, and several street utility upgrades.
