Officials said at least two lanes of the 91 Freeway will be closed this weekend for improvements aimed at curbing traffic. Patrick Healy reports for the NBC4 News at 4 p.m. on Friday, March 17, 2017.
The commute through Corona will get a little more cumbersome over the weekend as construction crews prepare to open more lanes on the 91 Freeway Monday.
Multiple lanes and ramps on both sides of the freeway are closed due to "significant construction," including the westbound carpool lane, the Riverside County Transportation Commission said.
"Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time, avoid the area by using State Route 57 and State Route 60 as alternate routes or ride Metrolink," the agency said.
On March 20, the new Express Lanes and general lanes are scheduled to open by 4 a.m. on the westbound side and 5 a.m. on the eastbound side. Pricing will be posted at each toll lane entry point.
