Freeway onramp closure linked to recent fatal fire
After a fatal fire recently on Highway 101 near Milpas Street, CalTrans has a month long repair job on a culvert where the fire burned.
One person died inside a sewer pipe at that location the morning of December 5. An investigation is underway.
Damage to the area was extensive and will require a four week repair project.
It begins Tuesday.
During that time the onramp at Salinas Street will be closed off. Drivers will be rerouted to Carpinteria Street to go northbound on the freeway.
