A project intended to improve traffic flow on a Central Coast highway has reached a milestone. The roundabout on Highway 154 in the Santa Ynez Valley has been opened to traffic on both sides of the highway.
The west side of the intersection of Baseline/Edison will remain closed until all connector work has been completed.
The $8.7 million project is at the intersection of Baseline Avenue and Edison Street.
The hope is that it will improve traffic flow through the areas.
Some other work on the roundabout is still happening. The project includes lighting, landscaping, curb ramps, and rumble strips to force drivers to slow down. The project is expected to be complete later this spring.
