SAN MATEO COUNTY ― Caltrans is continuing work on the State Route 82 El Camino Real Roadway Renewal project which will include a daytime full closure for tree removals and lane closures for potholing work. Potholing is the process of identifying utilities under the roadway to visually verify the exact depth and type of utilities present to avoid damage before the road paving work begins. 


The $173M El Camino Real roadway rehabilitation project will maintain El Camino Real as a safe, accessible, and reliable transportation corridor. The project encompasses repaving the road and upgrading sidewalks for enhanced mobility. It also aims to reduce localized flooding and to improve visibility.


Full closures are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each weekday:


Carmelita Ave. to Grove Ave.

  • Monday, March 9 & Tuesday, March 10


Oak Grove Ave. to Carmelita Ave.

  • Wednesday, March 11, Thursday, March 12, & Friday, March 13
