TRAFFIC ALERT: 91 Freeway Closures Happening
The eastbound side of the freeway will be closed overnight.
CORONA, CA — The Riverside (91) Freeway will be partially shut down Tuesday night in Corona to facilitate road work.
Beginning at about 11:30 p.m., the eastbound 91 will be closed at Green River Road and will remain out of service until 5 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Riverside County Transportation Commission.
The agency said the closure is necessary for crews to install new overhead signage where the eastbound 91 connects to the Corona (71) Expressway. The work is part of the "91 Project Fast Forward."

RCTC officials said motorists will be detoured off the freeway via the Green River exit and routed back to the 91 via Palisades Drive.

The $1.3 billion "91 Project Fast Forward," which got underway in early 2014, involves widening the east-west corridor between the Orange County line and Interstate 15, with new traffic lanes and ramps, as well as additional shoulder space and expanded surface streets in the vicinity of the freeway. The project is slated for completion sometime next year.
