STATE STREET ONRAMP IN SANTA BARBARA SET TO BEGIN MONDAY, JULY 27
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY — Travelers on US 101 in Santa Barbara will encounter intermittent shoulder and onramp closures at State Street starting Monday, July 27.
The intermittent closures will take place Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm as construction crews perform irrigation and planting work along US 101 at State Street overcrossing to the Hwy 154 undercrossing.

Delays should not exceed 10 minutes. Message and directional signs will assist motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians traveling through the area. Please allow extra time during your commute and be alert for work zone activities. This project is expected to be completed on August 31, 2026.
