More Road Closures Planned In Temecula For I-15 Construction

TEMECULA, CA — As work continues on a project to improve the Interstate 15/French Valley Parkway, motorists will need to plan for more road closures this month, the city said.

During the week of June 15, overnight closures for northbound lanes and onramps are scheduled. Detours will be available throughout the work period, which is expected to end on Thursday, June 19.

The project, which was slated to be finished last month, is still in the second phase of construction. As work continues, contractors will be removing K-rail and performing electrical work this week.

When the work is done, the city hopes the project will reduce congestion and improve safety by relieving the I-15/Winchester Road interchange and minimizing weaving movements on I-15 between Winchester Road and the I-15/I-215 Junction.

Here are the scheduled closures:

Nighttime construction will prompt several lane and ramp closures on northbound Interstate 15 in the Temecula area from Sunday, June 15, through Friday, June 20.

Each night from Sunday through Thursday, alternating lane closures will take place between Rancho California Road and Murrieta Hot Springs Road from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., with at least one lane remaining open.

On Friday night, the closures will run from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Additionally, on Wednesday, June 18, and Thursday, June 19, both the straight and loop northbound on-ramps at Winchester Road will be fully closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
