The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has implemented one-way alternating traffic control on State Route 33 at five locations between Maitlija Hot Springs Rd. and Lockwood Valley Rd. This action is part of ongoing efforts to repair storm damage sustained last winter.
The affected stretch of SR-33 is crucial for commuters and travelers navigating through Los Padres Forest, and the repairs aim to address the aftermath of severe weather conditions. Motorists should be prepared for potential delays due to the one-way alternating traffic setup.
Moreover, as new storms are forecasted for this Saturday through Wednesday, SR-33 is susceptible to full closures. Caltrans emphasizes the need for travelers to stay informed about real-time road conditions, as temporary closures may be implemented for safety reasons during adverse weather.
These proactive measures are essential to ensure the safety of drivers and facilitate efficient repairs to the storm-damaged sections of the highway. Caltrans urges the public to stay updated on any further announcements regarding road closures and to plan their routes accordingly during the specified period.
