Waterline relocation results in use of bypass road at Peyton Drive and Eucalyptus Avenue

By Denise Cattern

Chino Hills – The relocation of a 16” waterline along the northbound lanes of Peyton Drive will result in the first use of the bypass road that was built specifically for when construction crews must sporadically work within the street during the Peyton Widening and Improvement project construction.

Construction crews will close the work zone south of the intersection of Peyton Drive and Eucalyptus Avenue at 8:30 a.m. on Mon., May 4, after the morning school traffic; and again on Tues., May 5, at 7:30 a.m.

While the bypass road is in use, northbound traffic on Peyton Drive will stop, turn left onto the bypass road, stop at Eucalyptus Avenue (across from Chino Hills Community Park entrance), turn right, then approach the intersection at Peyton Drive and Eucalyptus Avenue. Southbound Peyton Drive traffic will turn right on Eucalyptus Avenue, stop, turn left onto the bypass road, stop, and then turn right on Peyton Drive. Delays are expected when the bypass road is in use because each turning movement will be controlled by a stop sign.

The relocation of the waterline is expected to take two full days. The work will be completed between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Mon., May 4; and 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. – or until the work is completed – on Tues., May 5.

The four residents facing Peyton Drive, south of Eucalyptus Avenue, and the Chino Valley Community Church will be without water for the duration of the waterline work on Tuesday only.

Another route is a better route! Residents and commuters are being asked to avoid the intersection of Peyton Drive and Eucalyptus Avenue if they can do so.  Less traffic means more tolerable conditions for others who must conduct business along Peyton Drive. Please plan ahead for the traffic delays and allow extra time for your travels.

Motorists with Smartphones are encouraged to take advantage of the OxBlue app to check real time road conditions on the two webcams that are operational 24/7.

Motorists are also advised to slow down in the construction area for the safety of the workers.
