Highway 74 drainage project began Monday
Caltrans began work on a $7.3-million project to install a horizontal drainage system and repair current drainage systems on Highway 74 near Hemet Monday. The work is from .7 miles east of Blackburn Road to just east of Doe Canyon Road.
The contractor, Dreambuilder Construction Corp. of Yorba Linda, placed signage alerting motorists of the project zone.
One-way reversible traffic control is in place Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with possible weekend and nightwork as needed.
The project is expected to be completed in late fall 2022.
Caltrans is reminding motorists to reduce their speed in and surrounding the work zone. Weather may affect this operation.
