Northbound commuters through
Santa Barbara will find the right-hand lane of the 101 at the turn at Bath and Castillo
streets closed on Thursday. Caltrans plans to clear out a group of homeless
camps near the northbound 101 on-ramp at Castillo, which will also be closed.
The lane and on-ramp will be closed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Caltrans
spokesperson Jim Shivers said the camps were notified on Monday of the coming
removal of their belongings. "This work has been ongoing in the corridor in multiple locations,"
Shivers said.
