AVILA BEACH – On Monday, July 29, 2024, the County of San Luis Obispo will fully close a portion of Shell Beach Road to install waterline improvements.


This work is part of the Avila Beach Drive at US 101 Operational Improvement Project, located at the intersection of Avila Beach Drive, Shell Beach Road, and US 101.

The closure will occur from 7:00 p.m. on Monday night and re-open by 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, as shown on the attached vicinity map. The full closure of Shell Beach Road will be from Avila Beach Road to El Portal Drive in Pismo Beach. Traffic control and detour signage will be in place throughout the duration of the closure.  Motorists in the area are advised to adjust their travel plans and consider alternative routes.

CalPortland is performing the work. The project is funded through various state and federal grant funds administered by Caltrans and County local funds. Final completion of the project is anticipated for late 2025.
