Highway update: Caltrans work progressing on startup of safety barriers on State Route 79 in San Jacinto

Motorists on State Route 79, at the beginning of Lamb Canyon leading into Banning from San Jacinto, will find Caltrans crews placing k-rails to safely begin their work constructing a median concrete barrier and rumble strips. Weather permitting.Their work will take place Monday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m during the nighttime hours when there is usually less traffic. As it begins, all work will take place in the median behind the k-rails. Crews will perform trench paving operations that will include sawcutting, breaking existing asphalt, and excavating for the installation of a new drainage pipe. CHP will be on site to assist with traffic safety. As a result, there will be occasional intermittent lane closures during the evenings for construction staging purposes. HEMET Cross
