The Santa Ynez Valley Visitors Association is offering a free presentation on the construction projects on Highways 101 and 154.

The presentation will be at 8:30 a.m. June 24 at the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott Hotel, 555 McMurray Road in Buellton.

The guest speaker will be Kirsten Ayars, a community outreach project liaison for CalTrans and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments.

The public will learn facts about Highway 101 and 154 construction improvements starting this month in the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara — and how they will affect residents, visitors and business travel in the coming months and years.
