Caltrans is happy to report that their crews have removed enough dirt and material to reopen SR 150 in Santa Paula. “We will open the roadway later this evening, July 31, to traffic.” Be mindful that striping work is ongoing and pending pavement repair.

Reminder, construction for the retaining wall is still ongoing. The remaining tasks include four more rows of end anchors (tiebacks), timber lagging, final grading, and landscape for erosion control.

Occasionally, there will be a one lane closure to facilitate the remainder of the work. Flaggers will be onsite directing traffic during this closure. Closures will be avoided during peak travel times from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The southbound and northbound shoulders will remain closed, and we urge the motorists to slow down in the construction zone. The speed limit for the work zone will be set at 25 mph. Please drive at a safe speed through the area.”
The pedestrian path through the private property remain open for now until further assessment. Additionally, VCTC will cease operation for their shuttle.

With the roadway open for both directions, we will no longer work 24/7. However, we will evaluate the need to work extended hours based on our progress.

We thank the community for the cooperation and please be work zone alert.
