Security Paving is the contractor on this $57 million project, expected to finish by summer 2011.

Two additional segments of the freeway pavement ? between Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas and the Ventura County Line and between Santa Rosa Road in Camarillo and Padre Juan Canyon Road in Ventura ? also will be rehabilitated. Those projects are anticipated to begin by late Spring 2011.

The project will provide a smoother ride and extend the life of the pavement.
