Caltrans completed a major project to replace concrete slabs, repave shoulders/ramps and restripe pavement along a two-mile section of US Highway 101 through the City of Buellton thanks to Senate Bill 1 (SB 1).
“Caltrans is quickly moving ahead with improving major infrastructure across the state as a result of this new funding source. Over the next year, motorists throughout the state will benefit from more efficiency, not only on the state highways, but on local surface streets as well due to SB 1,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
“I am very pleased that our first project under SB 1 has been completed. This is the first of several projects that will repair our highway bridges, pavement and drainage systems in many locations, improving travel for everyone,” said Caltrans District 5 Director Tim Gubbins.
The contractor for this $4 million project was Papich Construction of Grover Beach, CA. For more information on the SB 1 funded projects across the state, visit rebuildingca.ca.gov.
Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway construction zones.
