Why is the SR 79 Realignment Project Needed?
 
The SR 79 Realignment Project is being developed to meet the following important mobility goals for the Hemet-San Jacinto area:
  • Create roadway capacity for the area’s population and business needs in 2030
  • Facilitate regional movement of people and goods
  • Provide a more effective connection between Domenigoni Parkway and Gilman Springs Road
  • Separate local and regional traffic by transforming SR 79 into an improved regional highway that takes heavy regional traffic off of local and residential roads
  • Resolve shared use of SR 74 and SR 79
  • Create a facility that is compatible with future transportation needs including a future public transit facility
  • Improve overall motorist safety
