RIVERSIDE, CA — Skanska, a global construction and development firm, and joint venture partner, Coffman Specialties, announce they have been awarded a contract by San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to carry out the $390 million Interstate 15 (I-15) Corridor Freight Improvement and Express Lanes Project. The scope of the project involves the construction of two new express lanes with price-managed, tolled facilities on the median of both I-15 North and South, spanning a total of 10.8 miles.

“We, along with our partners Coffman Specialties and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, are excited to begin construction on these new express lanes along one of the region's busiest interstates,” said James Bailey, Executive Vice President of Skanska USA Civil's West Coast operations. “Once complete, these lanes will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and save travel time for the over 200,000 daily commuters on this stretch of highway.”

These additional express lanes will join the existing lanes just south of the San Bernardino/Riverside County line and extend to Foothill Boulevard, encompassing the cities of Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana, California. Drivers will be able to enter and exit the I-15 Express Lanes from multiple points, adding to trip reliability and safety.

Work includes the widening of both the inside and outside lanes of the roadway, modifications to bridge structures, installation of retaining walls, improvements to drainage and electrical systems, concrete and asphalt paving, and earthwork.

The project is expected to reach final completion in July 2028.
