As part of the ongoing Moreno Beach Drive bridge project, portions of the 60 freeway are scheduled to be closed during the nights of Friday, April 8, and Saturday, April 9.
The closures were rescheduled from the original dates of March 25 and 26 due to additional time needed to complete pre-closure work.
Upcoming closure dates approved by Caltrans, which are subject to change:
April 8: All westbound lanes of the 60 freeway at Moreno Beach Drive from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
April 9: All eastbound lanes of the 60 freeway at Moreno Beach Drive from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
April 8 and 9: Moreno Beach Drive from Ironwood Avenue to Eucalyptus Avenue from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
These closures are contingent upon additional work being completed prior to the closure, equipment, and material delivery, and no additional delays due to unforeseen events.
Motorists wishing to use Moreno Beach Drive during the closures are asked to exit the freeway at Redlands Boulevard or Nason Street and utilize Ironwood Avenue or Eucalyptus Avenue to bypass the closures.
The closures will allow construction crews to install a temporary support system to construct the west side of the new bridge over the 60 freeway.
The Moreno Beach Bridge project will replace the existing two-lane bridge with a new seven-lane bridge with enhanced safety features, simplified on/off ramps, and underground storm drain facilities to mitigate flooding.
