Moreno Valley has received a $25.3 million state grant that will help pay for the 60 Freeway/World Logistics Center Parkway Interchange Improvement Project.
Funds from the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program are part of a larger effort throughout Southern California meant to enhance safety, relieve congestion, and reduce travel time, according to a statement on the city’s website.
“The improvements enabled by this grant will help to enhance safety, relieve congestion and reduce travel time for everyday commuters and truckers alike, building a safer, stronger, and more connected community,” said Moreno Valley Mayor Ulises Cabrera in the statement.
The project will include:
- A bridge with vertical clearance above the interchange;
- Two roundabouts;
- On-and off-ramps and meters;
- Upgrades to the interchange’s traffic management system;
- Funds for CHP enforcement areas;
- Funds for pedestrian and bicycle crossings.
When finished, the project is expected to reduce travel hours by nearly 1.6 million over 20 years. The reduction in truck delays will improve travel in and around Riverside and San Bernardino counties, according to the statement.
