In a major development for San Mateo County's transportation infrastructure, the Cordilleras Creek Bridge along U.S. Highway 101 in Redwood City requires replacement due to reaching the end of its service life. Caltrans Bay Area-District 4 is geared up to employ innovative construction methods to tackle the project within a tight one-year timeline as opposed to the usual three years it takes to finish such works, according to the City of San Mateo's recent update.
Highway 101 will witness closures from 10:00 PM Friday night to 5:00 AM Monday morning on two separate weekends: September 29-October 2, for southbound lanes, and October 13-16, for northbound lanes.
With an emphasis on the importance of adaptability during these disruptions, San Mateo County residents are advised to avoid using the affected stretch of Highway 101 when possible and instead opt for alternate routes. As reported on Caltrans' project webpage, digital message signs will be deployed across roadways throughout the Bay Area to inform and redirect both local and regional travelers away from the closures.
