SBCTA Central Avenue Interchange Project

In an effort to improve traffic flow along Central Avenue and State Road (SR) 60 access for the local community, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) and the City of Chino, in cooperation with the Caltrans District 8, will widen the Central Avenue interchange at the SR 60 bridge to accommodate three through-lanes and double left-turn lanes in both the northbound and southbound directions and will widen the existing eastbound and westbound on-ramps to SR 60 from one lane to 2 through lanes and a carpool lane.

Breaking Ground on the Town Center at The Preserve

As part of the development of the Town Center at The Preserve, Pine Avenue between West Preserve Loop and Harvest/Homecoming is being improved. Improvements include widening the road to 5 lanes, 2 new traffic signals, repaving of Pine and installation of underground utilities & center medians. Once completed, this project will relieve congestion and improve traffic flow on Pine Avenue.

UPDATED Timeline: July 30, 2022 - Spring 2023

Access: Pine Avenue will be reduced to one lane in both directions between West Preserve Loop and Homecoming Drive for the duration of the project. Additionally, access to East Preserve Loop south of Pine will be closed for the duration of the project.  Westbound Kimball, west of Euclid, is now open.

Detours: Residents of The Preserve can take Kimball as an alternate route. Eastvale residents are encouraged to take Archibald north to Merrill. Residents south of Pine can use Market Street to Hellman, additionally, Legacy Park St is now opened and available as an alternate route. Truck traffic will be diverted to Merrill. 

 City Actions to Improve Traffic Flow: 

• The Chino Police Department will have an increased presence in the area to help with traffic control and ensure trucks are diverting to Merrill Ave.
• Reader boards will be posted displaying alternate routes. 
• The East Preserve Loop traffic signal will be turned off to help keep traffic moving. 
• Traffic signals on Pine and in the surrounding area will be heavily monitored and timed to expedite traffic. 

Looking Ahead: On the week of August 15, 2022, Kimball will be reduced to one lane in each direction to recap the street. City staff is working with the developer to adjust the Pine schedule to allow greater access. Stay tuned for updates.
