Caltrans Worker's Funeral To Close Freeway Lanes

 TRAFFIC: Complete Coverage

RIVERSIDE (CBS) ―

A funeral procession for a Caltrans worker killed in the line of duty will mean lane closures midday Monday on three Inland Empire freeways.

 The procession for John Knabenbauer will enter the eastbound Riverside (91) Freeway at Adams Avenue in Riverside just after11 a.m.

 Freeway traffic may be stopped for the procession to enter the 91 Freeway, and lanes will be closed as it passes through Riverside east on Highway 91 and north on Interstate 215.

In San Bernardino, the procession will merge right and then head west on the San Bernardino (10) Freeway to the Waterman Avenue exit in Colton, where it will leave the freeway.    

Knabenbauer was killed early Wednesday when he was struck by a car while trying to remove a dead dog from Interstate 215 in San Bernardino.

The 42-year-old man had a lifelong love of freeways, his family said. He had worked for Caltrans for 17 years. He was the 169th state transportation worker killed on the job.
