Process

What is the Process for the South I-215 Project?

Transportation projects have many phases that are required by law before they can be implemented. The South I-215 Project has been the subject of a Project Study Report that was completed in December 2006. The current phase of work involves preparing a Project Report and environmental technical reports. The technical reports include the results of studies of:

  • Current and future traffic conditions
  • Conditions of existing roadways and structures
  • Freeway onsite drainage and the accommodation of offsite drainage that must cross the freeway
  • Compliance with Riverside County’s Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan
  • Water quality studies
  • Impacts to residents and businesses
  • Visual impacts
  • Noise modeling
  • Air quality
  • Plants and wildlife
  • Updated cost estimates

These reports will help the project obtain clearance through the California Environmental Quality Act. Once these state approvals are received, final engineering design and right-of-way acquisition (if needed) can take place. When this work is completed, construction can begin.
