Skanska along with its joint venture partner Coffman Specialties secured a contract from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for the $390 million Interstate 15 (I-15) Corridor Freight Improvement and Express Lanes Project.
The project will add two new price-managed, tolled express lanes in the median of both the northbound and southbound sections of I-15, covering a distance of 10.8 miles. Once completed, these new lanes will enhance traffic flow, reduce congestion, and save travel time for over 200,000 daily commuters using this stretch of highway.
The express lanes will connect with existing lanes just south of the San Bernardino/Riverside County line and will extend to Foothill Boulevard. This project will facilitate better travel for drivers in Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana, California. Multiple entry and exit points will improve trip reliability and safety.
Construction will involve widening both the inside and outside lanes, modifying bridge structures, installing retaining walls, and enhancing drainage and electrical systems. Additionally, the scope of work includes concrete and asphalt paving, along with extensive earthwork. Skanska and Coffman Specialties will begin construction in January 2025 and expect to complete the project by July 2028.
