Victorville Connect - January 26, 2023 |
|
|
We expect to be driving the Green Tree Extension before summer 2023! The 600-foot bridge over the BNSF Railway is complete, and so is the earthwork to the east of the train tracks. We made improvements to the intersection at Green Tree Boulevard and Hesperia Road including a new traffic signal.
The next large effort will be the paving of the new roadway. This massive infrastructure project will provide another much-needed East/West corridor in the Victor Valley relieving congestion on Bear Valley Road and Hwy 18.
