Motorists traveling through San Luis Obispo along Highway 101 should watch for alternating onramp and offramp closures for evening and overnight road work this week.
All of the highway’s ramps through the city, from Higuera to Monterey streets, are subject to closure 7 p.m. through 6 a.m. Monday through Friday nights, according to Caltrans.
Crews will close no two consecutive ramps at the same time, officials from the transportation agency said.

Paso Robles
A Paso Robles woman has been sentenced to nine months in County Jail and four years of probation after pleading no contest to child endangerment charges, two weeks after her husband was sentenced to 10 years in state prison for child molestation committed on a relative.
Elaine Kullgren — who was sentenced last week — was charged with felony child endangerment because she knew the molestations were occurring and didn’t help the girl, Chief Deputy District Attorney Jerret Gran said.
Her husband, Keith Kullgren, 31, pleaded no contest to three counts of lewd or lascivious acts against a child under the age of 14.
A no-contest plea results in a conviction without an admission of guilt.
On June 16, Keith Kullgren was sentenced to 10 years in state prison.
Gran said Keith Kullgren committed the acts over a period of about four years against a female relative when the girl was between the ages of 11 and 15.

Paso Robles Public Schools will take over five special education classes now run by the county Office of Education starting in 2010 after the school board voted last week on the plan.
The county Office of Education program provides some special education students with therapists, psychologists, specialists and teachers in certain schools, then charges the various school districts for the services.
The unanimous board vote to bring the Paso Robles programs into the school district’s oversight will also bring with it all current teachers with the option to bring their aides, officials said.
The district has a year to figure out the specifics of the program, officials have said.
The county schools office now runs seven programs for Paso Robles. The approved plan would move five, including preschool, elementary school, middle school and high school services, into district control.
Paso Robles made a similar change last year when it moved two classes — at Shandon High School and Lewis Middle School — into the district’s control.
San Luis Obispo County’s three other largest school districts — Lucia Mar, San Luis Coastal and Atascadero — have made similar moves.
