The I-10 Project Alternatives

Three alternatives were studied by SBCTA as part of the I-10 Corridor Project.

Alternative One No Build

This alternative looked at what might happen if nothing is changed—no additional travel lanes or ramp improvements would be constructed.

Alternative Two HOV Lane

The addition of one HOV/Carpool Only Lane in each direction of I-10 between Haven Avenue in Ontario and Ford Street in Redlands (25 miles).  The number of General Purpose Lanes would not be changed.

Alternative Three Express Lane

The addition of two Express Lanes in each direction between the Los Angeles-San Bernardino County line and Ford Street in Redlands (33 miles).  The number of General Purpose Lanes would not be changed.
