Interstate 15:
La Mesa & Nisqualli Road Interchange, Victorville
SANBAG, the City of Victorville and Caltrans are constructing a new interchange on Interstate 15 in Victorville, CA between Bear Valley Road and Palmdale Road (State Route 18) to improve both residential and business access, as well as overall operation of the freeway. Connecting La Mesa Road on the west and Nisqualli Road on the east will provide much-needed relief to the heavily traveled interchanges in the area and improve local circulation in the city of Victorville.

The approximately $44 million construction project, made up of State and Local funds, will ultimately construct the new interchange with multi-lane ramps and a multi-lane bridge (three through lanes in each direction with multiple turn lanes for Amargosa Road, Mariposa Road and the northbound freeway ramps. In addition, crews will realign Amargosa Road and Mariposa Road in the vicinity of the new interchange and make modifications to the drainage in and around the Oro Grande Wash. Private utility relocation is scheduled for the end of 2011 with project construction commencing in January 2012 and continuing through Fall 2013.
The project team is looking to reduce the amount of activity requiring detours, however, detours will be used as the need for safety for the public and the construction crews indicates. Stage 1 construction
begins in mid-February 2012. Check here for details of the stage and
alternate routing options.
