Caltrans started work Friday on a two-month-long, million dollar project to improve wildfire safety along a major Central Coast highway.
Crews are removing vegetation and brush along a 40 mile stretch of Highway 154, attempting to remove 8,000 to 10,000 pounds of fuel a day.
The work is taking place Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Motorists will encounter delays, with one-way reversing traffic control in the work zones.
