- Drivers urged to plan ahead as rest areas close along busy coastal corridor
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.
