Ranchero Road Widening Project

Widening Our Horizons

The Ranchero Road Widening Project is the third phase of an ongoing project to enhance the Ranchero Road Corridor--a major east-west corridor carrying more than 15,000 motorists daily.

Previous phases of the project included the installation of an underpass at the BNSF Railroad tracks and an interchange at the intersection of Ranchero Road and Interstate 15.

The objective of this project is to enhance the file mile-corridor of Ranchero Road between the underpass and interchange, thereby reducing roadway congestion, accommodating an increase in travel, and reducing response times for emergency vehicles. Major enhancements include:

• Widen Ranchero Road to accommodate two lanes in each direction and a center striped median 
• Demolish the existing bridge and construct a new bridge at the California DWR aqueduct 
• Widen the at-grade crossing at the UPRR railroad tracks
• Replace corrugated metal pipe drainage crossings with concrete reinforced box culverts and add one new box culvert
• Various utility relocations

The Ranchero Road Widening Project is a $54 million dollar project made possible with support from San Bernardino County, San Bernardino County Transit Authority, and state and local funds.
