A portion of West Mountain Drive is temporarily closed at the 900 block of W. Mountain Drive (MAP) due to an undermined roadway hazard which occurred on Tuesday, February 20 during the recent storm. In response to this incident, the road is closed to through traffic at the following intersections:

The City of Santa Barbara’s Public Works Department is currently assessing the ongoing precipitation and soil saturation on this portion of the roadway on W. Mountain Drive and will reopen once repairs have been completed and deemed safe for travel.
