Closures on Hwy 17 as Caltrans completes wildlife undercrossing at Laurel Curve

About 65,000 cars travel Highway 17 each day, and Laurel Curve is one of the deadliest sections for wildlife on the highway. Between 2012 and 2017, nearly 350 animals were killed in collisions with moving vehicles. Caltrans is closing one lane on each side of Hwy 17, as they finalize a wildlife undercrossing project.
