SAN BERNARDINO, CA — It's time to clean up the roadways from unsightly graffiti and other trash on the roadways from San Bernardino to the Riverside County line, Caltrans announced this week.

The cleanup will take place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday starting at the I-215 and 210 interchange south to the Riverside County line, according to Caltrans, and California Highway Patrol officers will conduct the moving traffic closure in the center media and HOV lanes, according to Caltrans spokesperson Kimberly Cherry.

"There will be a moving closure northbound and southbound on the I-215 from the 210/215 interchange to the Riverside County Line," Cherry said. The closure will include Washington and Mt. Vernon construction zone, both northbound and southbound, she added.

"Crews will be removing large debris, graffiti, dirt, sand and piles of litter in the area to improve aesthetics and provide safer travel for motorists," Cherry said.

Drivers were advised to use caution when approaching and passing through the moving closure.
