Working to improve traffic capacity and operations on I-15, RCTC and Caltrans District 8 are exploring widening I-15 from just north of the 15/215 separation near Murrieta, to SR-60 near Ontario. Environmental and feasibility studies and preliminary engineering are underway. Concepts being studied include the addition of regular, tolled express, and carpool lanes at various locations throughout this 44 mile corridor. A fuller understanding of the project alternatives are anticipated as these studies progress. The following project elements are being studied:

French Valley Parkway Interchange (Phase 1)

Construct a new southbound off-ramp from I-15 to French Valley Parkway
Construct the western segment of French Valley Parkway from the off-ramp to Jefferson Avenue
Widen the I-15 southbound off-ramp to Winchester Road (SR-79 North)

15/79 South Interchange Improvements

An estimated $24.3 million to improve circulation, freeway access and service levels

15/91 Interchange (see SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project)

Add a tolled express lane connector from eastbound SR-91 to southbound I-15 continuing as a southbound express lane in the median of I-15 terminating south of Magnolia Avenue interchange
Add a northbound tolled express lane in the median of I-15 from south of the Magnolia Avenue interchange and continuing northbound as a tolled express lane connector to westbound SR-91
