IE Business Daily Business news for the Inland Empire.
The Holland Road Overpass has opened in Menifee, a project that will make it easier for people to move around the city.
A four-lane structure between Antelope and Haun roads that runs above Interstate 215, the overpass includes sidewalks and bicycle paths, according to a statement on the city’s website.
The $35 million project opened Oct. 22 after nearly two years of construction and the installation of traffic signals on Holland Road at Haun Road and Hanover Lane. It includes more than 20,000 square feet of retaining walls, 2,700 tons of asphalt, over 4,400 cubic yards of concrete, and more 900,000 pounds of rebar.
Several sources paid for the Holland Road Overpass, including Measure DD, the “Quality of Life” initiative passed by city voters in November 2016. Revenue from Measure DD, a one-cent sales tax, cannot be taken by the state.
Funding also came from the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program, which is operated by the Western Riverside Council of Governments, according to the statement.
