Thank you for joining us to celebrate the start of construction of Riverside County Transportation Commission’s 71/91 Interchange Project. The 71/91 Interchange serves as a gateway between Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino Counties and is a vital link for commuters and freight vehicles that travel along State Route 91. The new non-tolled interchange is designed to reduce congestion, enhance travel reliability, improve traffic safety, and reduce pollutants and emissions. The project also will provide new crossings for wildlife, including those protected by the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
The project will:
• Replace the existing single-lane loop connector between eastbound 91 and northbound 71 with a new, two-lane, direct connector ramp;
• Build a new, separate eastbound auxiliary lane from Green River Road to east of the 71/91 interchange; and
• Realign the eastbound 91 on-ramp from Green River Road to improve access to the 71/91 interchange.
