The Highway 154 roundabout project at the intersection of Baseline Avenue/Edison Street near Los Olivos will partially open at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28.

Northbound motorists will be able to use a portion of the new roundabout, while southbound travelers will continue using the current alignment.

The west side of the intersection of Baseline/Edison will remain closed while the area east of the intersection will be open to travelers with a restricted flow.

The roundabout will remain partially closed until all remaining work has been completed. The roundabout project is expected to be completed in the spring.

Businesses are open and accessible along Baseline Avenue/Edison Street during construction.

Message and directional signs are in place to alert the traveling public of detours. Available detours:

Travelers heading east of Edison/Baseline Avenue may use East Roblar Avenue.
Travelers heading west of Edison/Baseline Avenue from north of the original intersection may use West Roblar Avenue to Refugio Road to Baseline Avenue.

Travelers heading west of Edison/Baseline Avenue may use State Route 246 to Edison Street, south of the original intersection.

The project includes the installation of curb ramps, rumble strips and a lighting system.

Contractor for the $8.7 million project is Granite Construction Company of Santa Maria.
