Caltrans District 5 will accept public comments on the US Highway 101 San Jose Creek Bridge Replacement Project from Friday, Dec. 13 until Friday, Jan. 17.

Caltrans plans to replace the existing northbound and southbound San Jose Creek Bridges on Hwy. 101 in Goleta. These structures contain reactive aggregate which could compromise their integrity over time.

City of Goleta Planning Office, 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta.
Goleta Valley Library, 500 N. Fairview Ave., Goleta.

The initial study can also be reviewed on the Caltrans District 5 webpage https://dot.ca.gov/caltrans-near-me/district-5/district-5-current-projects.
