Cambria and Los Osos set for guardrail upgrades this summer

Guardrails in Cambria, Los Osos, and rural San Luis Obispo will be getting an upgrade starting this week.

The height of the existing guardrails at these locations is below current state and federal guidelines and replacing them with the appropriate height will ensure compliance and increase safety.

For Los Osos, work is tentatively scheduled to start at:

• Pecho Valley Road – between Sand Pit Road and approximately 0.6 miles south of Sand Pit Road
• Ramona Avenue – between 8th Street and 10th Street
• South Bay Boulevard – at the intersection of South Bay Boulevard and Pismo Avenue
• South Bay Boulevard – at the intersection of South Bay Boulevard and Yama Lane

For locations in Cambria and rural San Luis Obispo during the months of August and September, work is tentatively scheduled at:

• Los Osos Valley Road – between Foothill Boulevard and Clark Valley Road, San Luis Obispo CountyMoonstone Beach Drive – between Kendell Lane and approximately 0.4 miles north of Kendell Lane, Cambria
• Charing Lane – between Windsor Boulevard and Croyden Lane, Cambria

For the safety of the public and workers, traffic will be reduced to one-way travel controlled by flagging and/or temporary signal control. Delays of up to 10 minutes can be expected. Motorists are advised to consider alternative routes. Please refer to the attached maps for the project locations.

R. Burke Corporation has been awarded the contract for $792,730. The project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Safety Improvement Program and the County Road Fund.
