The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Caltrans $13.35 million on June 13, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for emergency infrastructure repairs on State Route 101 in Santa Barbara County. The project encompasses a 2.3-mile corridor from 0.9 miles north of Dos Pueblos Creek Bridge to 1.4 miles south of San Antonio Creek Bridge and addresses critical roadway damage through culvert lining and replacement, invert repair, inlet replacement, slurry backfill installation, and reinforced steel pipe (RSP) installation.

The project deliverables include repair of slipouts and landslides, embankment reconstruction, and comprehensive restoration of roadway facilities to return the corridor to safe operational status. As an emergency relief project under the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award supports California's federal-aid highway infrastructure preservation obligations and addresses urgent transportation infrastructure needs following apparent catastrophic or weather-related damage to the highway corridor.
