The City of Goleta is conducting drainage work at the Hollister Avenue roundabout near the Highway 217 southbound off-ramp and Dearborn Place as part of the ‘Project Connect’ infrastructure initiative.

Initially scheduled to begin on October 8, 2026, the 24-hour partial closure was later rescheduled to start on Monday, October 12. The work restricts eastbound movement on Hollister Avenue, requiring motorists to use detours such as Ward Drive or Highway 101 via Patterson Avenue.
