California State Route 37 faces congestion and flooding risks due to its location near San Pablo Bay. A $500 million project aims to elevate parts of the highway and improve infrastructure, but critics argue it is insufficient. Climate change threatens to worsen flooding, with some advocating for more ambitious solutions like relocating the highway or investing $10 billion in extensive upgrades.

Rest areas along California's Highway 101 near Gaviota Tunnel closed from July 1 to October 1 due to a water shortage, forcing drivers to plan ahead for restroom and rest stops. The closures affect a heavily traveled corridor between Southern and Central California, with similar past shutdowns reported last year. Additional rest areas in Kern County are also closed for water system upgrades.
