A project to repave Highway 246 from Entrance Road to the Highway 154/246 intersection is scheduled to begin Sunday night.

This paving will take place during the overnight hours Sunday night through Friday morning from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Motorists will encounter one-way reversing traffic control within the project area.

Electronic message boards have been activated to advise motorists about this roadwork. Motorists can expect a delay not to exceed 15 minutes.

The contractor for the $1.1 million project is Calportland Construction of Santa Maria. This project is expected to be completed this September.

Caltrans urges motorists to move over and slow down in construction zones.
