Road Closures and Construction Information
Useful information can be obtained from the California Transportation Department Area Main Page and the Caltrans Traffic Update for Santa Barbara County. The following lookup box links to the California Department of Transportation Highway Information Page. Using it will open a separate window with the results of your California route search.
- There seems to always be some road work on 154; check road conditions for closures.
- Coming soon? Check our weather page.
Since the Emporium is a couple of hundred yards off of Grand Avenue, in a field (sometimes peppers, sometimes, pumpkins, sometimes dirt), here's a nice drawing and a picture to show you where we are!
Hope to see you here!
