Yucaipa Live Oak Canyon Road Interchange to be dedicated Thursday
News Release:
YUCAIPA, CA - The I-10 Fwy/Live Oak Canyon Road Interchange bridge will be officially dedicated on Thursday, May 28, at 10 am. The interchange is located in Yucaipa, just east of the Yucaipa Blvd. Interchange.
The public is invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which will take place at the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) field office parking lot on the south side of the freeway by the Live Oak Canyon bridge.
Plans for the project originated in 1995, followed by a project study report, environmental and design studies, and funding plans. Progress was put on hold when the State Transportation Congestion Relief Program funds were suspended from 2002 to 2005.
The interchange project was reactivated in 2004 following the passage of the renewed Measure I fund, which collects ½ cent sales tax for transportation projects.
Groundbreaking for the interchange was held in September 2007 and it was opened to full traffic in May 2009.
Half of the $20 million bridge project was funded up front by the City of Yucaipa, which will be reimbursed with Measure I funds in future years, as the funds become available.
SANBAG's next phase of improvements along the I-10 Freeway corridor will include widening of the westbound lanes from Live Oak Canyon to Ford Street in Redlands.
Yucaipa Mayor Dick Riddell, San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry, and Caltrans District 8 Director Ray Wolfe will be the key speakers at the event.
