The Haven Avenue overpass over the 210 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga will be renamed to remember the life of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola, who was killed during an August 2021 suicide bomb attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
A resolution authored by Ramos and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom will honor his sacrifice by renaming the freeway overpass located not far from where Merola grew up and dreamed of becoming a Marine.
Rex thanked the community for their continued support. She remembered her 20-year-old son for his kindness, courage and bravery. A little over a year ago, the Haven Avenue overpass was crowded with mourners who held American flags and stood in honor of Merola during a procession bringing his remains home to be buried.
