The construction to widen State Route 76 from two lanes to four between South Mission Road and Interstate 15 began in November 2014 and is expected to be complete in 2016. The milestones completed during 2015 included completion of a second eastbound lane between South Mission Road and Gird Road, allowing for traffic to use one lane in each direction on that part while work is being performed on the westbound lanes in that area. The expected milestones for 2016 include completion of all four lanes between Gird Road and Interstate 15. “Sometime in summer, probably early summer, they will be opening up the lanes between Gird Road and I-15,” said California Department of Transportation project manager Karen Jewel. Because the segment between Gird Road and just west of Old Highway 395 utilizes a new alignment, phased work was not necessary to accommodate existing traffic. “I think they’re going to be able to open up that whole alignment at one time,” Jewel said. “They will finish up that earthwork and get those lanes in by summer. Then they’ll be able to do the work on the existing alignment probably by fall.”
