A project to make pavement improvements on a Santa Barbara County highway which was delayed by three separate brush fires is now finally complete.
Crews have been working to upgrade a 17 mile stretch of Highway 154 in the Santa Ynez Valley from Edison Street to Cold Spring Canyon Bridge.
Work started on the $11 million dollar project in 2016, but was disrupted by the Rey, Whittier, and Thomas brush fires.
The work includes some resurfacing and restriping efforts designed to improve Highway 154’s safety, and traffic flow.
