High-Light Electric is currently working on the I-215 Interchange of the Van Buren Boulevard to accommodate a recent increase in traffic … and facilitate future growth.

The project includes a new eastbound to northbound entrance ramp, the realignment and widening of the Boulevard as a whole, the replacement of bridges that go across the railroad and the highway, the addition of traffic signals and other aesthetic changes.

The construction work began in the Summer of 2012 and is projected to be completed by February 2014.  Visit the Riverside County Transportation Department website for more information about the project.

                          

HLE is working on a bridge rebuilding project that is expected to be completed by Winter 2013.  The Van Buren bridge, originally built in 1939 … needed to be expanded to accommodate the estimated 73,700 vehicles per day that 2025 is expected to bring.  Therefore, the bridge is being widened to have three traffic lanes in each direction, concrete barriers are being added to separate the pedestrian sidewalks from the road, and the outside shoulders are being widened to add a bike lane in the future.
