91 Project Prepares for El Niņo
|
The 91 Project team has been preparing for the upcoming El Niņo season. El Niņo is an indicator that the region will see more rain than usual. There is typically heavy rainfall, flooding and mudslides during an El Niņo season. Back-to-back storms also are more likely to occur. This winter's El Niņo is forecasted to be the strongest on record, according to the Climate Prediction Center, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Construction crews are prepared to work during rainy weather, but some activities, such as paving or excavation, may be stopped during heavy rainfall. Work will stop if lightning occurs.
Construction crews have been taking part in training sessions to increase awareness and responsiveness during the rainy season. A number of erosion control measures also have been implemented. For a set of Frequently Asked Questions related to the 91 Project's El Nino's preparation, please click here.

91 Project Passes Halfway Mark
|
The 91 Project is more than 50 percent complete, a major milestone for the team and community. A project of this magnitude normally takes about seven years to build, based on a traditional approach.
This project, however, is using a design-build approach, in which design and construction are occurring simultaneously. This approach is faster, saving three to four years in construction time. The project broke ground in December 2013, and the team has been moving "fast forward" ever since that time.
Please take a look at the latest construction photos on the project website and watch for changing conditions throughout the project limits. New work will be occurring soon near Maple Street and Serfas Club Drive, so please watch for updates.

Corona's Green River Road Widening Project Nearing Completion
|
Construction of the City of Corona's Green River Road Widening Project is continuing, with completion estimated in the coming months. The project is widening Green River Road from four lanes to six lanes between the 91 and Palisades Drive.
The project includes paving, slope grading, new curbs and gutters, sidewalks, ADA access ramps, modifications to existing storm drains, a new traffic signal at Palisades Drive and signal modifications at Dominguez Ranch Road. As part of the project, lane reductions on Green River are required, but the reductions are limited to off-peak hours as much as possible.
