Federal lawmakers have submitted 12 County projects as federal earmarks for a total of $34 million – and more projects may soon be submitted. This is a marked improvement over 2022, when the County had five projects submitted as earmarks for a total of $12.1 million.
Weekend freeway closure alerts! Construction continues in Redlands, Highland, Bloomington

Westbound lanes of SR 210 in Redlands and Highland will be closed due to the ongoing repaving project by CalTrans, and in Bloomington portions of Interstate 10 will be closed for the bridge demolition project.
Pothole repairs are underway
Public Works crews have been working on addressing potholes throughout the County. Potholes are a regular feature after winter seasons due to water infiltrating cracks, freezing/thaw cycle, and vehicle traffic. Warm temperatures are required for a permanent hot-mix repair which is occurring now in warmer valley areas. In the mountain areas, temporary cold mix is placed in high-traffic areas to help until the warmer spring months where they can be replaced with permanent patches. Currently around 700 bags of cold mix have been installed in local mountain areas and 30 tons of hot-mix in valley areas in the past few weeks.
Protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases
San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services Mosquito and Vector Control Program (MVCP) encourages residents to take action to prevent mosquito breeding by dumping and draining any standing water in and around their homes.
With the recent rains, San Bernardino County Health Officer Michael A. Sequeira, M.D. advises residents to be mindful of breeding grounds as mosquitoes can carry diseases.
“In addition to itchy bites and being a nuisance, mosquitoes can transmit diseases like West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, Western Equine encephalitis, and Zika. I urge residents to take precautions to protect themselves against mosquito bites” said San Bernardino County Health Officer Michael A. Sequeira, M.D.
