LEMON AVENUE / SR-60 INTERCHANGE

The cities of Diamond Bar and Industry, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation District 7 (Department) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), propose to construct a new interchange on State Route 60 (SR-60) at Lemon Avenue.

As a 50% stakeholder in the project, Industry has retained our team to continually provide oversight of activities including the overall project schedule and provide as-needed advisement on matters of finance, grants, and administration to both cities of Industry and Diamond Bar. The objective is to ensure the project remains on schedule and on budget. The overall project budget is approximately $18 million.

The Project will construct a partial (three-legged) interchange, a WB on-ramp, and EB off-ramp from Lemon Avenue. It would also permanently remove the existing WB off- and on-ramps at Brea Canyon Road. An auxiliary lane from the proposed EB on-ramp to the connector to SB SR-57 would be constructed under this alternative. The existing soundwall along EB SR-60 west of Lemon Avenue would be removed and a new soundwall would be installed along the edge of pavement of the EB off-ramp and on-ramp.
