According to the county, the work should be finished by June, ahead of the September opening of San Juan Hills High School. <br /><br />The work is the first phase of street-widening projects that will front Rancho Mission Viejo's Ortega Gateway Project on the four corners of the intersection. Ortega Gateway is the first phase of Rancho Mission Viejo’s 14,000-home development project with grading expected to start this summer, according to officials.
