The Project
The City of Lake Elsinore (City), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing improvements to the Interstate 15 (I-15)/State Route 74 (SR-74) (Central Avenue) interchange located in the City of Lake Elsinore, California. The I-15/SR-74 Interchange Improvement Project is needed to improve traffic conditions, reduce congestion at the interchange, and help alleviate traffic at surrounding local intersections within the Project area. Visit the project’s Interactive StoryMap at bit.ly/CentralAveInterchangeProject for more details.
