Construction crews will begin a multi-year maintenance project in Buellton this week that will result in lane reductions along northbound and southbound Highway 101.
 
Beginning Monday, April 27, freeway travel through Buellton will be reduced to one-lane in each direction.

The No. 1 (left lane) will be closed around the clock in both directions, resulting in a reduction to a single lane. The closure will extend from the Nojoqui Creek Bridge to just north of Avenue of the Flags and Damassa Road.

The project is expected to be completed by March 2027.

Motorists are advised to plan accordingly and anticipate possible delays of up to 10 minutes.

The work is part of a project to maintain roughly 10 miles of Hwy. 101, in addition to the reconstruction of shoulders, replacement of concrete pavement, overlay of existing asphalt, ramp reconstruction, drainage repair work, electrical upgrades, and installation of new guardrails throughout this segment
 

Contractor for the $29.8 million project is CalPortland Construction of Santa Maria.
