Santa Barbara’s Highway 101 Widening Project Avoids ‘Nightmare Scenario’
Millions in State Funding Arrives to Complete Carpool Lanes in Montecito
To the commuters who face daily congestion and traffic jams along the U.S. 101: Fear not. A nightmare scenario has been avoided.
On Monday morning, the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) celebrated a $132.4 million award for the Santa Barbara U.S. 101 Multimodal Corridor. Approved by the California Transportation Commission (CTC), the money will fund Highway 101 improvements in southern Santa Barbara County.
CTC Commissioner Hilary Norton presented the ceremonial check to local officials amid ongoing construction at the San Ysidro Overcrossing, right above the frequently congested stretch of highway between Montecito and Summerland.
