OVERNIGHT PRADO ROAD RAMP CLOSURE IN SAN LUIS OBISPO
SET TO BEGIN SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY –A project to construct an interchange at Prado Road in San Luis Obispo will begin early-stage geotechnical work beginning Sunday, September 13.

Travelers will encounter an overnight ramp closure at the US 101 northbound Prado Road on ramp, and shoulder closures along the US 101 southbound lanes from 8 pm to 5 am beginning Sunday, Sept. 13 through Friday, Sept. 25. The work includes geotechnical drilling for the design of the Prado Road Interchange which will eventually connect Prado Road with Madonna Road via an overpass.
