Northbound LOVR/Hwy 101 ramps to close temporarily

The northbound Highway 101 on- and off-ramps at Los Osos Valley Road in San Luis Obispo will be closed overnight, from midnight Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday for repaving preparation work.

The ramps will be reopened between 7 and 9 a.m. for commuter traffic, then close again between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday for final paving, according to a city advisory. Drivers are encouraged to use Prado Road or South Higuera at Johnson Ranch as a U.S. Highway 101 entrance or exit during the closure hours.

The work is part of interchange improvements being made at the Los Osos Valley Road overcrossing and freeway ramps. For updates on the project, visit http://lovrtrafficreliefproject.com.
