The northbound lanes of Highway 101 north of the Gaviota Tunnel will be closed on an intermittent basis, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 25 while Caltrans performs a rock-scaling operation to enhance public safety.
The roadwork will continue on State Route 1 near the El Jaro Creek Bridge, south of Jalama Road, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 26 with one-way reversing traffic control with flaggers, weather permitting.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will lead travelers to a full stop during these intermittent rolling highway/lane closures not to exceed 15 minutes.
The temporary full closures will allow Caltrans to clear rocks from the highway.
Electronic message boards will be activated informing motorists to be prepared to stop upon approach to the work zone. Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway construction zones.
The work will be performed by the Caltrans Maintenance team of Buellton and Caltrans Engineers from San Luis Obispo.
