The 91 Project Serfas/Maple Makeover began June 26, marking the start of a series of improvements to bridges and ramps at Serfas Club Drive and Maple Street, as well as other nearby roadways. Work will continue in this area for about 18 months.

Initial work includes lane reductions on Serfas Club between Pine Crest Drive and Wardlow Road for the relocation of water, reclaimed water, sewer and storm drain systems. One lane is open in both directions on Serfas Club. Northbound motorists may use the eastbound 91 Serfas Club on-ramp. Southbound motorists must access the eastbound 91 by turning left on Frontage Road, left on Paseo Grande, and then left onto Sixth Street to use the Maple Street on-ramp.

Starting in approximately mid-August, additional Serfas/Maple Makeover work will occur:

• Frontage Road will open between Serfas Club Drive and Paseo Grande.
• The new eastbound 91 Maple Street on-ramp will open with a direct connection from Frontage Road, and the existing Maple Street on-ramp will close permanently.
• The eastbound 91 Serfas Club Drive on-ramp will close completely for approximately 15 months. Motorists may use the new Maple Street on-ramp.  
• Crews will build retaining walls and construct the temporary and permanent eastbound Maple Street bridge and off-ramp

Traffic is flowing steadily again on the connector from eastbound 91 to southbound 15. The connector was reduced to one lane in February to allow crews to build the new connector between these roadways. The second lane reopened to motorists on June 27, a week before the heavily traveled July 4 weekend.

Crews are continuing to work on multiple bridges in the 91/15 interchange area, with highly visible progress. For a more detailed look at the work that has occurred on the 91 Project during the past year, click here to watch this special progress video.  

The Riverside County Transportation Commission hosted a briefing for emergency responders and other key stakeholders on June 29 to provide an update and get feedback about the Serfas/Maple Makeover that started the previous weekend. 

Law enforcement and fire officials, transit operators and others discussed the lane reductions and traffic flow on Serfas Club Drive, access for fire service vehicles, road signs and signal timing. The group also reviewed upcoming work that is part of this 18-month "makeover" in this segment of the 91 Project.

This is the third briefing that has occurred for the 91 Project. Other briefings will be scheduled to ensure that emergency responders and other major stakeholders are informed of changes to travel conditions and have a forum to provide suggestions.

The Riverside County Transportation Commission will be holding its third Business Support Program meeting on July 17. Project representatives will provide construction updates about the Serfas/Maple Makeover and other upcoming summer work to local business operators.

With work continuing on the 91 Project, the Riverside County Transportation Commission reminds Corona residents and motorists to patronize area businesses during construction. RCTC is committed to assisting Corona businesses and has launched several initiatives as part of its "Business Support Program."

• Shop 91. Shop Local - This campaign provides discounts to customers via the project website. A total of 31 businesses are registered and are offering online deals, such as Extra Mile Insurance, which offers a $25 discount on services for insurance, notary or DMV fees. The "Shop 91. Shop Local." tab on the project website includes the coupon deals.
• Quarterly Business Meetings - RCTC hosts meetings to provide a forum for business operators to learn about upcoming construction activities and ask questions of project team members. The next quarterly meeting will be July 17 at 7 am at the Corona Chamber of Commerce, 904 E. Sixth Street, Corona.
• Business Spotlights - RCTC features two businesses each month in this Up to Speed newsletter. The Kabob Hutt and The Lucky Greek are in the spotlight this month. Please see stories below.
• 91 Receipt Rewards - This campaign encourages 91 Project team members to shop in Corona, thereby contributing to the local economy. Team members submit receipts from businesses they visit for lunch, gasoline, groceries and other goods and services. Each month, a drawing is held, and a lucky team member receives a $40 gift card to use at a Corona business. During the four months that the "91 Receipt Rewards" program has been in effect, team members have spent $26,415.20 at Corona businesses.
