Extended work includes shuttle service for pedestrians and full daytime closures
Agoura Hills — Construction of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is nearing its second and final stage, and Caltrans announced today that one-way traffic controls on a section of Agoura Road will be in effect on weekdays for approximately one month. Then, a full closure of the road will be needed so crews can build the final sections of the landmark infrastructure and conservation project.
Beginning in September, the section of Agoura Road between Rondell Street and Hydepark Drive will be placed under weekday controls to accommodate beginning the work of building the approach slopes on the east and west sides of the crossing and moving all utility lines underground to complete the project over U.S. 101.
Then in October crews will fully close the section on weekdays to complete the buildout. This closure is expected to last until June 2026.
The $92 million wildlife crossing project is a collaboration between transportation and environmental partners and is designed to provide safe passage for wildlife across one of Southern California’s busiest freeways, reconnect natural habitats and support regional biodiversity.
