MONTECITO, Calif. – Construction on Highway 101 continues, and starting July 12th, construction work between the Montecito and Santa Barbara segments will shift southbound and new northbound lanes will opened up.
Funding for continuation of the project was just approved by the California Transportation Commission back in June, which secured the final push for the massive project to add an extra lane in both directions from Carpinteria to Santa Barbara.
On Saturday night, July 12th, southbound traffic from Olive Mill Road to Posilipo Lane will be moved to the median and divided by safety barriers. The southbound off-ramps at Olive Mill Road and San Ysidro Road will be closed down that night as well.
"The southbound on-ramp at Olive Mill Road will be closed for nine months for construction, and drivers can use a detour along North Jameson Lane to access the southbound on-ramp at Sheffield Drive. The southbound off-ramp at San Ysidro Road will close for three months, and drivers can use the southbound off-ramp at Sheffield Drive as a detour."
This construction update comes just a little over a week after a new northbound lane was opened between Sheffield Drive and Hermosillo Road, along with a new northbound auxiliary lane between San Ysidro and Olive Mill Roads, and upgraded northbound on-ramps at San Ysidro Road and at Hermosillo Road.
Construction in the Montecito and Santa Barbara South segments is anticipated through 2026.
Work will continue in the Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project between Montecito and Santa Barbara segments to construct carpool lanes, improve on- and off-ramps, add new sound walls, update drainage improvements, and widen bridges over Romero, San Ysidro, and Oak Creeks.
