Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension

The extension of Sun Lakes Boulevard will connect Highland Home Road and Sunset Avenue relieving congestion on Highland Springs Road by an estimated 30%, providing an alternate access to Sun Lakes, and greater access and connections within Banning.

The Sun Lakes Boulevard extension is critically needed to improve traffic circulation and emergency response capabilities on the Interstate 10 corridor and surrounding areas. The project is located in the City of Banning just south of the I-10 freeway and proposes to complete gap closure resulting in a continuous parallel route from SR-79 in the City of Beaumont to the easterly City limits in Banning. Once the Extension is constructed, emergency vehicle access and response times will improve, connectivity to future regional job centers will be established, a new I-10 bypass segment will be created and traffic circulation will improve dramatically for the many residents, commuters and visitors to the San Gorgonio Pass region.

Project is in redesign phase due to conflicts with Kinder Morgan oil pipeline. It is anticipated that redesign will be completed in 2024 and project construction will begin in early 2025.
