SR-74 Menifee Hemet Pavement Rehab Broadband Safety Project
State Route 74 Pavement Rehabilitation, Broadband and Safety Work between Menifee and Hemet
RIVERSIDE, CA – Caltrans continues work on a $17.9 million pavement rehabilitation broadband and safety project on State Route 74 (SR-74) between Menifee and Hemet. This work is funded through Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Pavement rehabilitation will improve road conditions and safety by strengthening the travel way with new rubberized hot mix asphalt (HMA), installing fiber optic cables, broadband, improving crosswalks, upgrading bus pads, synchronizing traffic signals, new concrete barriers, and upgrading curb ramps to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards to improve access for those with disabilities.
What to Expect:
Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm, expect alternating lane closures and shoulder closures on both eastbound and westbound SR-74 during construction. Plan-ahead and please be mindful of work area signage as the California Highway Patrol will be on site to enforce applicable laws and regulations. Please proceed cautiously as work vehicles and crews may move in and out of shoulder areas.
All work schedule and timelines are dependent on weather conditions and the availability of materials. The project is expected to be completed by winter 2026.
