NIPOMO, Calif. -- A construction project in Nipomo to improve the traffic flow at the busy Tefft Street/Highway 101 interchange is scheduled to kick off on Monday.
The project will relieve congestion and improve pedestrian access at the intersection, which is heavily impacted throughout out the day, especially during commute times.
"It's horrible!" said Alicia Wolff, who drives the area frequently. "It's horrible. It's backed up all the time. It's stop and go. Stop and go. Stop and go. It's horrible."
The intersection is also severely impacted during weekends. At times, congestion is so significant, traffic on the two off-ramps is backed up onto the freeway.
