SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — A Caltrans resurfacing project on Highway 58, stretching from I Street to State Route 229 near Santa Margarita, will continue the week of August 4 with scheduled overnight work and changes to the traffic pattern.

Overnight construction is planned for Monday, August 4, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. and will include narrowed lane widths and a reduced speed limit of 25 MPH between I Street and the Highway 58/Pozo Road split. Following this, daytime work will resume through Friday, August 8.

Motorists should prepare for one-way reversing traffic control on Monday and Tuesday, August 11–12, to accommodate the installation of temporary barriers. Lane widths will be reduced to 10 feet during this phase of the project.

Electronic message boards have been activated to alert drivers, and Caltrans urges travelers to use caution through the construction zone for the safety of both workers and motorists.

The $7.9 million project is being carried out by CalPortland Construction of Santa Maria and is expected to be completed by the end of the year, weather permitting.
