VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. — The California Department of Transportation are planning closures for lanes and ramps on Highway 101 in Ventura County, beginning Monday, for storm damage repairs.

Caltrans says, all work is subject to change due to weather or construction-related issues.
Residents and businesses near the highway should expect noise, vibrations and dust from construction activities.
According to Caltrans, bicyclists should also expect temporary closures to the Ralph Fertig Coastal Bike Path that parallels HWY 101 going southbound, which stretches to about 2.5 miles.
The closures are also due to storm repair work, which begin from Bates Road to Mussel Shoals in Ventura County.
"Work may be done sooner than 30 days allotted," said Caltrans in a post on X.
An X user asked Caltrans about alternative routes. Caltrans says they are looking for "possible detours," but are yet to find "a safe alternative."
Caltrans wants to reminds drivers to "Be Work Zone Alert" and to "Slow for the Cone Zone."
