Highway 91 to northbound Highway 71 connectors in Corona will be closed in both directions overnight on Monday, July 8, for lighting installations, the Riverside County Transportation Commission announced Friday, July 5.
Vehicles will not be able to access these freeways from either direction, with the westbound connector shutting down from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., and the eastbound connector closing from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m., a commission news release states.
The closure times will be used by crews to install lines of overhead lighting equipment as part of the 71/91 Interchange Project, which is expected to be completed in 2025.
Commission officials encourage drivers to take alternate routes, such as the 15, 57 and 60 freeways.
The southbound 71 to westbound and eastbound 91 connectors will remain open. Construction activity is subject to change because of weather or other factors.
Monday’s will be the latest closure during the continuing project.
The commission and Caltrans are reconstructing the 71/91 interchange in a project that will replace the single-lane loop connector between the eastbound 91 and northbound 71 with a new, two-lane, direct connector ramp.
