Railroad Canyon Widening Latest: Night Work This Week

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Lake Elsinore motorists can expect some minor delays as the Railroad Canyon Road Project winds down. Final striping work is slated for the nights of Wednesday, June 19 and Thursday, June 20. It's scheduled from 8 p.m. until 4 a.m. each night.

Here's the latest from the city of Lake Elsinore regarding the project:

As shared last week, after striping this project will be mostly complete. The City is working on some additional finishing touches that will take place in the next few months including minor beautification and landscaping improvements to the median, installation of new signal ahead signs and poles, the addition of a new High Friction Paving Treatment on a couple of curves that are designed to reduce speeds and improve safety along the roadway, and the paving of Summerhill Drive from Railroad Canyon Road to Canyon Estates Drive.

Stay tuned for more details about these enhancements. Moving forward, only minor lane closures are expected.

IMPORTANT!!! Public safety remains our top priority. Please continue to drive safe and use caution while driving through the work zone and on the newly widened Railroad Canyon Road.
