Riverside,
California ____ California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) continues work on the $69 million
Interstate 10 (I-10) Pavement Rehabilitation Project which began in May 2016.
The project is rehabilitating 128 lane miles of pavement in both directions of
Interstate-10 between just east of State Route 86 (SR-86) and State Route 177
(SR-177).
The pavement work on the eastbound I-10 has been completed and pavement
work will continue on the westbound direction of travel until early 2018, weather
dependent.
The
contractor will begin work on Thursday July 21, to install the rumble strips
(grooved markings that alert motorists they are leaving the lane) to the 30
mile section of eastbound I-10 for the next two weeks.
The
details of work are as follows: Direction
Location Schedule Work Details
Eastbound
I-10 - (Rumble Strip) Between SR-86 and SR-177 Junction, 24 hours a day from
Thurs. July 21 for approximately two (2) weeks
One
lane available, Westbound I-10 (Paving), Between SR-177 and SR-86, Monday @
7:00 p.m. through Saturday @ 11:00 a.m. (24 hours a day)

Caltrans is alerting the trucking industry and motorists to be alert and
reduce their speed through
the entire construction zone and lane closure area. Pavement is uneven and the size
of the lanes are reduced. Shoulder access is limited and not available in some
areas.
The
reflective markings and rumble strips were removed to allow
for paving so drivers must
take extra caution to be alert and well rested when traveling along I-10.
Use alternate routes to avoid delays on eastbound I-10 on Fridays and
westbound I-10 on Sundays
and holidays.
ALTERNATE
ROUTES >>
Motorists can use State Route-62, State Route-177 and State Route--95 to avoid
the construction zone.
