The southbound U.S. Highway 101 off- and on-ramps at Seacliff closures scheduled for the same nights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. are also postponed.
The southbound lane on coastal side will be CLOSED to proceed with pavement rehabilitation on two right southbound lanes and shoulders that remain closed behind k-rails.
- · The southbound U.S. Highway 101 off- and on-ramps at Seacliff also will be CLOSED 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Wednesday to Friday, Aug. 3-5, and Monday to Wednesday, Aug. 8-10, for trucks to access a batch plant.
- · The southbound U.S. 101 bypass lane on mountain side will remain OPEN, but it has no exits from Mussel Shoals to Faria Beach.
- · Two northbound U.S. 101 lanes also will remain OPEN in the work zone, which connects Ventura and Santa Barbara.
Motorists should expect delays and high-intensity lights at night. Residents and businesses located near the freeway may experience noise, vibrations and dust associated with construction activities. Signs are posted. Closures may start and end later. Real-time traffic information can be found at http://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/.
All work is subject to change due to weather or construction-related issues. The work is part a $48 million pavement rehabilitation project — including $5.5 million in funding from Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 — on a 4.3-mile section of U.S. 101 north of Ventura. The project will smooth the roadway and extend pavement life. More details available at: https://tinyurl.com/mrycvtdm.
