SANTA BARBARA COUNTY – The Highway 154 roundabout project at the intersection of Baseline Avenue/Edison Street near Los Olivos has reached another milestone with the roundabout now open to travelers in both directions.

The west side of the intersection of Baseline/Edison will remain closed until all connector work has been completed. This project is intended to enhance safety at this location.

Businesses remain open and accessible along Baseline Avenue/Edison Street during construction. Message and directional signs are in place to alert the traveling public of work-related detours.

This project also includes the installation of curb ramps, rumble strips and a lighting system.

The contractor for this $8.7 million project is Granite Construction Company of Santa Maria, CA. This roundabout project is expected to be complete in Spring 2025.
