A project to widen the northbound Highway 101 on-ramp and install a ramp meter from the Carrillo Street undercrossing to the Anapamu pedestrian overcrossing is complete.
The project was a cooperative effort among Caltrans, the city of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments. The project was funded through regional gas tax dollars.
A live traffic camera that will show real-time traffic conditions at Highway 101 at Carrillo Street is expected to be activated by the end of next month.
The contractor for the $2.9 million project was Prism Engineering Inc. of Santa Clara.
