Delays expected south of Nipomo due to scheduled Highway 101 road work

NIPOMO, Calif. (KEYT) - Road work is expected to slow down traffic on Highway 101 south of Nipomo for several hours on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026.

Caltrans is scheduled to perform guardrail maintenance from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. along the southbound lanes of the highway between the Tefft Street on-ramp and Highway 166 off-ramp.

To help facilitate the repairs, Caltrans said one lane of traffic will be closed, which will cause up to 10 minutes of delay time.
