Centre - Reconstructed Oxnard Boulevard (Hwy 1) Interchange and Overpass. This interchange was recently reconfigured to allow full access from all directions. Previously, it was only possible to access southbound Hwy 1 from southbound U.S. Route 101 and access northbound U.S. Route 101 from northbound Hwy 1 (Oxnard Boulevard). This interchange reconstruction project was carried out simultaneously with the widening of the adjacent Santa Clara River Bridge. These two reconstruction projects greatly improved traffic flow on this important section of U.S. Route 101 between Oxnard and Ventura.
