The Gaviota Roadside Rest Areas near US 101 will undergo a major Wastewater System Improvement Project beginning Friday, June 11.
As a result, the Gaviota Rest Areas will be closed in both directions 24/7 from Friday, June 11 until February of 2022.
The Gaviota Safety Roadside Rest Area (SRRA) project will include upgrades to the wastewater treatment and electrical systems, the installation of a new water storage tank/pump house and a new crew building.
The contractor for this $4.6 million project is Specialty Construction of San Luis Obispo, CA.

Those rest stops are closed more than they are open. Someone’s cousin owns a construction company?
Seems the rest stop is closed in the summer alot and Gaviota creek water quality diminishes.
“Timing” may be that the creek hardly runs in summer.
Less hydraulics.
Summer “traffic’ is more sh#$ with less water and that especially applies this year.
Remember everything runs downhill and the summer concentration in the Gaviota creek is probably off the charts from the rest stop down to the beach during this time of year.
Glad they are addressing it.
Idiots.
