Ventura Road’s 101 Onramp Closed
The commute from north Oxnard will get a little tougher starting Friday.
The California Department of Transportation has permanently closed the Ventura Road onramp to the northbound Ventura Freeway in the latest phase of a $100-million project.
Traffic will be redirected from Town Center Drive to a temporary detour around the Ventura County maintenance yard, connecting to El Rio Drive and then to Myrtle Street and Vineyard Avenue.
Vineyard Avenue provides access to both north- and southbound U.S. 101 freeway lanes. The Ventura Road onramp will be replaced by a new freeway entry on Oxnard Boulevard in late 2004.
