SR-71 Expressway to Freeway Conversion Project

in progress

The SR-71 Expressway to Freeway Conversion Project aims to convert the SR-71 highway into a freeway. The project is located in Pomona, between the SR-71/I-10 interchange and the Los Angeles/San Bernardino County Line. The SR-71 is a major regional highway transportation facility that connects major east-west corridors and serves as an inland passageway for interregional travel between San Diego and the eastern portion of the Los Angeles area. The addition of the HOV lane will promote multi-modal transportation and reduce emissions to tackle climate change. The project is funded with $43 million from SB-1 funding and aims to address a backlog of repairs and upgrades while creating a cleaner and more sustainable travel network for the future. The project also focuses on improving and expanding community partnerships, especially in underserved communities.
