Overview

The High Desert Corridor

The High Desert Corridor (HDC) project proposes the construction of a new, approximately 63-mile, east-west freeway/expressway linking State Route (SR)-14 in Los Angeles County with SR-18 in San Bernardino County. This new freeway/expressway connection would link  some of the fastest residential, commercial and industrial growth areas in Southern California, including the cities of Palmdale, Lancaster, Adelanto, Victorville and the Town of Apple Valley. In addition to addressing the issue of growth, the HDC project will address traffic safety and support the growing need to move goods through our region.

The project is proposed as a means of improving mobility and access for people and goods in the rapidly growing Antelope, Victor and Apple Valley areas and will accommodate an expected three to six fold increase in traffic.

Goals of the project include:

• Address significant regional growth
• Increase east-west roadway capacity and connectivity
• Enhanced safety
• Improved connections between regional airports and efficient movement of goods
