Scott-Leon intersection work ramps up

The pace of construction will soon increase at one of the primary intersections for traffic to and from Liberty High School.

Paving is scheduled to begin soon at the intersection of Scott Road and Leon Road, which is being widened and will receive a traffic signal. The project is a joint effort involving Riverside County, Perris Union High School District, and the City of Menifee.

The project is expected to greatly improve traffic around the high school. In the meantime, however, traffic may be further impacted as work continues.

Here’s an update on other road projects in the area, provided by the City of Menifee:
