Ramona Expressway Resurfacing
Limits: Rider Street to Warren Road
Length: Approximately 9.2 miles
District: 3 and 5
Community: Nuevo, Lakeview, and Gilman Hot Springs
The County of Riverside Transportation Department is proposing to resurface approximately 9.2 miles of Ramona Expressway from Rider Street to Warren Road. Ramona Expressway is classified as an Expressway in the County of Riverside’s General Plan. Ramona Expressway is a two to four lane road and currently ranges from 40-120 feet wide with dike along various segments of the roadway. The surface improvements along Ramona Expressway will consist of four treatment types. The first treatment is from Rider Street to Lakeview Avenue consisting of an overlay of Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA). The second treatment is from Lakeview Avenue to 5th Street and from 2,600 feet west of Warren Road to Warren Road consisting of pulverize, cement stabilizing the pulverized material, and overlay of RHMA over Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The third treatment is from 5th Street to 2,600 feet west of Warren Road consisting of a slurry seal. The fourth treatment is at signalized intersections consisting of removing the existing roadway and placing back HMA.
Additional improvements include:
Cold plane and paving back HMA at localized areas
Placement of safety edge and shoulder backing
Placement of centerline channelizers
Reconstruction/construction of asphalt concrete overside drain and dike
Reconstruction/construction of down drain pipe and CMP
Reconstruction of guardrail including addition of reflective markers
Replacement of traffic loop detectors
Construction of centerline and edge line rumble strip
Signal upgrades to video detection at Hansen Street and Warren Road
Utility adjustments
Striping of roadway, including pavement markers and reflectors
Salvage/removal and installation of new signs
No additional right-of-way, permits to enter and construct (PEC), or temporary construction easements (TCE) will be required to construct the proposed improvements. The project improvements will not be within the existing footprint of the roadway and will raise the existing roadway profile in the pulverize areas.
