Ekwill Street & Fowler Road Extensions and Hollister Avenue Bridge Projects

Two highly anticipated City Capital Improvement Projects, the Ekwill Street & Fowler Road Extensions and Hollister Avenue Bridge Relocation Projects, are getting closer to becoming a reality. Construction work began February 6 to relocate utilities that are in conflict with the Projects.

When completed, the Ekwill Street & Fowler Road Extensions and Hollister Avenue Bridge Relocation Projects will provide new east west access across Old Town Goleta, two roundabouts on Hollister Avenue at the interchange with State Route 217 and complete flood control capacity improvements.

With the upcoming utility relocation work, there will be traffic impacts on Hollister Avenue between State Route 217 and S. Kellogg Avenue for approximately four weeks beginning February 6, 2023. Alternating eastbound and westbound lane closures will be necessary to facilitate the relocation work. Construction work will take place Monday – Friday between 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Motorists are reminded to please drive cautiously through the work zones and are encouraged to use alternate routes if possible.
