Castillo Street Ramp Closures Coming

Highway 101 drivers in Santa Barbara, brace yourselves—starting this Sunday, the Castillo Street off-ramp will be closed intermittently for two months as Caltrans tackles emergency drainage repairs. Expect full ramp closures from 8 PM to 6 AM and lane closures from 9 AM to 3 PM, with the southbound right lane permanently shut for cars and pedestrians. Walkers must use the northbound sidewalk. The underpass, sitting 10 feet below the water table, constantly leaks groundwater. Caltrans promises delays under 10 minutes and clear signage. This repair comes right after city council discussions on safer pedestrian and bike paths—so stay alert, check signs, and add a few minutes to your commute.
