The Highway 101: Linden and Casitas Pass Project is a combination of freeway and local street improvements that make local travel easier in Carpinteria and prepare for future freeway widening. This $60 million construction project is phased to keep roadways open during daytime hours and minimize impacts to neighbors and commuters.

Main Components

Local street and freeway improvements are color-coded based on the new, accelerated schedule that finishes in 2020. Progress is ongoing for items listed in 2016, 2017, and 2018. New components began construction this year and will finish up in early 2020.

Linden Avenue Improvements & Ogan Road Roundabout

The Highway 101 overcrossing at Linden Avenue will be widened to include two lanes going toward the mountains along with sidewalks and trees on both sides of the road. On the mountain side, Linden Avenue will also have a new turn lane to access northbound Highway 101.

The new Ogan Road roundabout will connect to the Via Real extension and provide easier access onto northbound Highway 101 with a longer on-ramp.

Via Real Improvements

Via Real will be extended approximately ¾ mile up to Linden Avenue to improve local circulation. The Highway 101 on and off-ramps at Casitas Pass Road will also be reconfigured to enable safer access to the freeway.

New bridges will be built over Carpinteria Creek. The Highway 101 bridges over Carpinteria Creek will be raised 10 feet to reduce the flood impacts by enabling better water flow under the bridges.
