State Route 23 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
In Ventura County, from U.S.101 to State Route 118
The Project
The SR-23 Project will replace pavement on the outer two lanes from U.S. 101 to State Route 118 to provide a service life of 40 years. The on- and off-ramps, connectors and adjacent shoulders also will be rehabilitated, and slabs will be replaced on the inner lane in both directions where needed. Existing curbs ramps will be upgraded where necessary (36 locations) to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and approach slabs and bridge rails will be replaced at select locations (five locations). The performance measures for this project are 46.7 lane miles.

FAQs
Q: What is the SR-23 Pavement Rehabilitation Construction Project?
A: The SR-23 Project will replace pavement on the outer two lanes from U.S. 101 to State Route 118 to provide a service life of 40 years. The on- and off-ramps, connectors and adjacent shoulders also will be rehabilitated, and slabs will be replaced on the inner lane in both directions where needed. Existing curbs ramps will be upgraded where necessary (36 locations) to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and approach slabs and bridge rails will be replaced at select locations (five locations). The performance measures for this project are 46.7 lane miles.
Q: Will this project close the freeway at any time?
A: Three lanes in each direction will remain open through the duration of the project, with an auxiliary lane incorporated to shift traffic patterns as needed during construction. NOTE: Special provisions allow the contractor, Security Paving Company, Inc., to close lanes or ramps for extended periods as needed, including 55-hour weekend closures. Latest Quickmap Road Conditions. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
Q: Will this project be noisy at night?
A: Noise levels near project areas will be the same level as ordinary freeway traffic and should not disturb neighborhoods nearby. Caltrans will monitor noise levels during construction to minimize the impact to local neighborhoods. If you experience excessive noise or dust related to this construction project, please contact Caltrans.
Q: What is SB 1?
A: Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, invests approximately $5 billion per year to fix roads, freeways and bridges in communities across California, as well as strategically investing in transit. To date, Caltrans has completed more than 100 SB 1 highway projects with nearly another 500 projects currently in the works statewide and many more to come after that. This includes repairing or replacing 115 bridges and paving nearly 1,500 lane miles of the state highway system. In the coming years, SB 1 improvements will be even more visible to the public, with many big projects soon to go out to bid. For example, in our current fiscal year 2019-20, $5.5 billion of new work from multiple funding sources including SB 1 — or $2.5 billion more than last year — will go out for bid. Caltrans is committed to conducting its business in a fully transparent manner and detailing its progress to the public. For complete SB1 Details.
