US-101 Highway Maintenance Safety Project

Caltrans District 7 is planning a highway maintenance safety project along US-101 in Ventura County, stretching from the Westlake Village Overcrossing to the Seacliff SR-1 and US-101 separation, covering postmiles 0.5 to R39.3. The project aims to enhance safety by installing Wrong Way Driver Prevention Measures, improving pedestrian and bicycle safety features, and adding Horizontal Alignment Curve Warning Signs at freeway exit and entrance ramps. All work will involve excavation to a maximum depth of five feet, with no relocation of public utilities or acquisition of new right-of-way. The initiative is designed to reduce accidents and improve traveler safety without altering existing infrastructure boundaries or utility networks. The project has been posted as a forecast on June 25, 2026, and is being managed by Caltrans in collaboration with its Los Angeles district. Christopher Laurel, Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist), serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, reachable via phone or email. Although no solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside details are provided, the project is positioned as a proactive safety enhancement under Caltrans’s maintenance and infrastructure improvement priorities. All work is confined to the existing right-of-way, ensuring minimal disruption and no additional land acquisition.
