SAN MATEO COUNTY ― Caltrans continues work on the State Route 82 El Camino Real Roadway Renewal Project in Burlingame and San Mateo.

The next closure will take place between Floribunda and Chapin from Wednesday, May 20 to Friday, May 22 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Residents will always have access to their driveways.
