SANTA BARBARA COUNTY – Caltrans invites the public to attend a virtual information meeting for the Santa Barbara US 101 Milpas to Fairview Improvement Project on Wednesday, November 13 at 6:00 pm.
The purpose of the project is to extend the service life and improve the ride quality of just over ten miles of existing pavement from just south of the Milpas Street undercrossing to the Fairview Avenue overcrossing. The Caltrans project team will make a presentation and answer any questions from the public.
This project will provide better facilities for non-motorized traffic, improve drainage facilities, rehabilitate roadside planting, provide better roadside safety elements for maintenance personnel, improve trash capture facilities, and improve traffic management safety facilities.
