A one-mile segment of northbound Highway 101 will be reduced to one lane between the northbound Highway 101 Gaviota Rest Area to one-half mile north of the Gaviota Tunnel beginning Wednesday, Sept. 25, to continue an ongoing paving operation on the 101. This lane closure will continue until late October.
The northbound Gaviota Rest Area will also close intermittently during overnight the hours Monday nights through Friday mornings between 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning Wednesday, Sept. 25, until the end of October to remove and replace the concrete barrier, mechanical repairs, and sidewalk repairs.
This Highway 101 lane closure allows Caltrans to continue the grinding and paving of roughly 6 miles of highway in addition to the reconstruction of shoulders, placement of High Friction Surface Treatment, and the installation of new guardrails and median concrete barriers.
The contractor for this $50 million project is CalPortland Construction of Santa Maria. Construction is expected to be complete by Spring 2025.
