The TriTunnel Express is a proposed 10-12 mile tunnel system consisting of three 45-foot diameter tunnels under the Santa Ana Mountains.

This direct-route tunnel starts slightly south of Interstate 15 freeway (1-15) and Cajalco Road Exit in Riverside County. It extends through the Santa Ana Mountains under the Cleveland National Forest to the interchange of SR 241 and SR-133 in Orange County. It is the BEST alternative to the Riverside Freeway (91) congestion. This estimated $3-billion tunnel complex would be privately funded (no new taxes) transporting cars, trucks, train, utilities and communication services.

The Cleveland National Forest is California’s smallest national forest and is cut into three pieces, surrounded by the suburbs of Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties. The Tunnel will not intrude on the habitat of mountain lions, eagles, and other species that roam the sensitive chaparral-covered mountains. It will not harm the Forest with tons of pollution and yet will transport utilities and 120,000 commuters a day CLEANLY and efficiently.

This one-stop solution accommodates the region’s growth and gives Riverside County and Orange County the second link they have always sought. This three-year plan will employee thousands of people helping to stimulate our local economies at the same time.
