The McKinley Street Grade Separation Project is set to change the way you travel through McKinley Street.

City of Corona residents and commuters experience significant traffic congestion daily on McKinley Street. To improve this, a suspension bridge will be built elevating McKinley Street over the BNSF railroad tracks and Arlington Channel. Construction will extend from State Route 91 on the north side to Magnolia Avenue on the south side.

Once complete, the project will relieve traffic congestion, improve mobility and safety for both motorists and pedestrians, as well as improve emergency response times, air quality and noise. Expected project completion is late 2024/early 2025.

71/91 Interchange Project: The Riverside County Transportation Commission’s 71/91 Interchange Project will require a weekend full closure of southbound 71 at Butterfield Ranch Rd/Euclid Ave. The weekend closure is scheduled to from Friday, August 16 at 10 p.m. through Monday, August 19 at 5 a.m. This closure is required to allow crews to safely pave and stripe the final portion of the newly aligned southbound 71 lanes to shift traffic onto the new lanes. This shift will extend southbound 71, creating additional space for the new connector, allowing it to connect to the northbound 71 lanes.
