Caltrans begins 2-year project at Cold Spring Bridge
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Caltrans announced that a two-year-long project has begun at Cold Spring Bridge above Santa Barbara.
The project involves cleaning, painting and inspection of the Highway 154 bridge.
Drivers are expected to encounter one-way reversing traffic control Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. These delays are expected to last no longer than 10 minutes.
Caltrans said this project will cost a total of $7 million and is being completed under Certified Coatings of Fairfield, Calif.
The project is expected to be complete by spring 2023.
UPDATE: This Cold Spring Bridge project will include a new "catwalk" below the bridge deck to allow easier access for future bridge work, a major component of the project. Please drive carefully on approach to this construction zone.@CaltransD5 https://t.co/084heHOHWY
