Flaggers will be directing one-way traffic during that two-day window between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Drivers can expect delays of up to ten minutes according to CalTrans District 5.

The contract for this $2.8 million emergency project was granted to Souza Construction of San Luis Obispo.

This smaller project is part of a larger emergency contract for the slide that damaged Highway 41 earlier this year.
