Chino- The city of Chino is advising residents and commuters to find alternate routes to Pine Avenue from January 4 to January 14.

This is the next phase in the multi-phase project to expand Pine Avenue from Euclid Avenue to Meadowhouse Avenue into six lanes. The improvements are said to be completed within 10 days, according to the City’s press release.

The closure will allow for work to be done to “provide additional traffic lanes and left turn lanes to ensure safety and improve traffic flow,” said the Chino press release.

This road closure is a phase part of a larger project that will eventually provide two lanes in each direction between Euclid Avenue and Meadowhouse Avenue. This is scheduled to occur during Spring 2019.

Commuters are being advised to use east/west Merrill Avenue and north/south Euclid Avenue and Flight Avenue while the construction takes place.
