May Day, May Day....What's With the Traffic on ECR?

Here are this week's El Camino Real lane closures along the Peninsula, including Belmont and San Carlos.

As the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Smart Corridor project continues, Caltrans will be installing new traffic management tools along Route 82 (El Camino Real). This week the project will require lane closures along El Camino Real, including Belmont and San Carlos, through Friday, May 3.

Improvements include, a fiber optic communication system, interconnection of local and State traffic signals, trailblazer signs, message signs, vehicle detection systems and fixed cameras.

This system will run from the City of San Bruno to Redwood City.
