Motorists will be detoured off the 91 at 14th Street, taking side streets adjacent to the freeway until they're clear of the construction zone.

Caltrans officials said the new Pachappa bridge is one of several projects tied to the $232 million freeway expansion through downtown Riverside, where high-occupancy vehicle lanes are being added along a six-mile stretch. --City News Service
