The Route

Beginning at its northeast terminus at the Kellogg Interchange complex in San Dimas to a short distance south of Holt Avenue in Pomona, it is a four-lane (2 lanes in each direction) freeway. From that point and through most of Pomona, it is a four-lane (2 lanes in each direction) expressway with at-grade intersections with other, 'regular' streets. All are signalized except for Phillips Drive. Just north of the Rio Rancho Road exit, all aspects of the highway 'upgrade' to freeway standards in its alignment, lane width, pavement, barriers, access, etc. The freeway portion of the route ends at the San Bernardino/Riverside County line, where it reverts to an undivided four-lane highway to its terminus at its junction with the Riverside Freeway (CA/SR-91) in Corona. Due to various budget constraints that have been exacerbated by the California state budget crisis that began in 2002, upgrades of the non-freeway segments to freeway status have been delayed. An expressway is a divided highway, usually 4 lanes or wider in size, where direct access to adjacent properties has been eliminated. ...
