A project to replace the Salsipuedes Creek Bridge and construct a retaining wall and fish passage on Highway 1 near Lompoc continues this week.  

Motorists will encounter one-way reversing traffic control with flaggers 8 am.-3 p.m. Wednesday, March 13, through Friday, March 15.

Motorists will also encounter one-way reversing traffic control via a temporary traffic signal that will be in place 24/7 Monday, March 18, through May of 2020. Traffic delays should not exceed 20 minutes.

The contractor for this $5 million project is CalPortland Construction of Santa Maria. The project is expected to be complete in June 2021.
