ALC veterans are all too familiar with the part of U.S. 101 from Bradley to San Miguel, notorious for its beyond-awful shoulders and traffic roaring by at 70 mph. At Wednesday's meeting of the San Luis Obispo County Technical Transportation Advisory Committee, Caltrans presented an update on its upcoming projects, including the following:
US 101 SAN MIGUEL/SALINAS GUARDRAIL UPGRADE
AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS FROM SAN MIGUEL TO BRADLEY (PM 64.9 69.3)
Project: Upgrade guardrail and crash cushions and place hot mix asphalt dike
Estimated Start Date: January 2009
Estimated Completion: April 2009
Alas, I don't know what a "hot mix asphalt dike" is (oh, I can imagine the one-liners already), but it sounds like there's some shoulder work scheduled in the next few months before we pass through there in June. We can hope!
The picture is from U.S. 101 north of Bradley, where the shoulder isn't as bad.
