[quote=The-Shoveler]Then they are sure wasting a lot on money building freeways and roads along the I-15 LOL.[/quote]
Caltrans is now finishing the decades-long-needed I-215/I-15 merge up thru Cajon Pass for the entire region of intra/interstate travelers to use!
I remember when US 395 (a 2 or 4-lane hwy) continued I-15’s route out of the IE south to SD … with 2-3 stoplights in the vicinity of March AFB and south. Up until about 18 months ago, I-215 had no less than 4 hwy switches northbound before reaching the southern base of Cajon Pass which all had to be negotiated to remain on I-215. It was a mess, especially in heavy truck traffic.
I-15 is more streamlined and a bit shorter now thru Corona. When finished, I-215 will enable motorists in the more eastern cities of the IE (ex: San Bern and Riv) to quickly get to the base of the pass and begin climbing into the high desert.
These are regional improvements by the state which have nothing to do with local population numbers. They have been planned for nearly 40 years.
