California 60 West - Interstate 15 to California 57 north

California 60 - Pomona Freeway west
As a towering 500kV power line crosses over the freeway and traffic from Interstate 15 joins the freeway, westbound California 60 leaves Riverside County and enters San Bernardino County (population 2,035,210 as of 2010 Census with a land area of 20,105 square miles). At this point, California 60 leaves Eastvale and enters the city of Ontario. As of the 2010 Census, Ontario had a population of 163,924, and as of the 2000 Census, Ontario had a population of 170,373 (the total population of the city decreased during this ten-year time period). The city incorporated on December 10, 1891. Photo taken 05/05/12.
The next exit along California 60 west is Exit 39, Haven Avenue north to Ontario International Airport and south to residential/ranch areas. Photo taken 05/05/12.
A really tall, double-circuit, 500kV Southern California Edison power line crosses over California 60. This line is most evident for travelers along Interstate 15 as it parallels Interstate 15 closely between Interstate 210 and California 91. Photo taken 05/05/12.
For long-term parking at Ontario International Airport, use Grove Avenue (Exit 36). For terminal access, take Exit 39, Haven Avenue north to Airport Drive west. Photo taken 05/05/12.
Ontario International Airport is managed as one of the Los Angeles World Airports (along with LAX owned and managed by the city of Los Angeles) and is widely used as an alternative airport to Los Angeles International Airport or John Wayne Airport in Orange County. Photo taken 05/05/12.

Another 500kV power line passes over California 60 just before the Haven Avenue off-ramp. This view looks south at the nearest 500kV delta pylon tower. This line converges with the double-circuit 500kV power line at a substation south of here near the Interstate 15 and Cantu Galleano Ranch Road interchange (Exit 106). Photo taken 05/05/12.

The Euclid Avenue corridor is somewhat unique in that much of the route through Ontario and Upland has an extra wide median owing to its prior role for passenger transit via mule carts (a commemorative plaque is located at Euclid Avenue and C Street in Ontario).
