I-15 Express Lanes Authorized in Riverside

Federal and state agencies have issued final approvals to build two new express lanes in each direction (four lanes total) in the median of I-15 from State Route 74 (post mile 22.3) in Lake Elsinore to El Cerrito Road (post mile 38.1) in Corona — an approximately 15.8-mile extension. The Final Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the project was approved on December 3, 2025.

Deadline to Challenge Project in Court

If you want to file a legal challenge to the Federal agency actions for the I-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension project, your claim must be filed on or before June 29, 2026; if a governing federal statute provides a shorter filing period, that shorter period still applies.
