RIVERSIDE - A part of Newport Road in Menifee Valley will be renamed Normandy Road, the county Board of Supervisors decided Tuesday.

The western piece of Newport Road is being realigned into Railroad Canyon Road, but the existing section between Goetz and Berea roads will remain as an alternative route between Quail Valley and Sun City. That segment that will be called Normandy Road.

Newport Road is being realigned to accommodate Audie Murphy Ranch, a 2,000-home subdivision being built at the nexus of Canyon Lake, Quail Valley and Sun City.
