Caltrans will hold a public meeting to discuss enhancing safety on Highway 1 near Vandenberg Village, 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 12 at Cabrillo High School, 4350 Constellation Road, Lompoc.

Caltrans engineers will provide information on proposed modifications, including restricting turning movements to enhance safety at the intersection of Highway 1/Santa Lucia Canyon Road.

Caltrans recently completed a project to install a High Friction Surface Treatment to the existing pavement on Highway 1 south of Constellation in response, which will enhance safety in wet weather conditions.
 
A multi-agency meeting to address safety concerns on Highway 1 between the city of Lompoc and Vandenberg Space Force Base was held recently.

That collaboration included: Caltrans, California Highway Patrol, Vandenberg SFB, Lompoc Correctional Complex, Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG), the cities of Santa Maria and Lompoc, Santa Barbara County Public Works, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s office, Reach Central Coast, GO-biz, State Sen. Monique Limon, Assemblymember Gregg Hart, and Santa Barbara County Supervisors Bob Nelson and Joan Hartmann.

Caltrans is also working on a project to enhance 27 lane miles on Highway 1 from just south of Cabrillo Highway to the Vandenberg Space Force Base Main Gate.

The project will rehabilitate the pavement, improve drainage facilities, replace signage and sections of guardrail, reconstruct curb ramps, widen the shoulders, and install complete streets features to enhance bicycle safety.
