Green River Road is a critical link to the SR-91 for the motorists who use it. Congestion on Green River Road bridge has exceeded lane capacity warranting needed improvements. The project scope will include construction of a new bridge, the addition of two through traffic lanes, ADA approved sidewalks and realignment of the on and off ramps. Caltrans has partnered with Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the City of Corona on this $21 million, state-funded project. When completed by late 2008, motorists and residents of the City of Corona will enjoy improved traffic flow.
