82 El Camino Real Roadway Renewal

The El Camino Real Roadway Renewal project (EA-0K810) will rehabilitate this historic and critical section of State Route 82 that stretches through the city of Burlingame and touches Hillsborough, San Mateo and Millbrae. The project also aims to reduce localized flooding, improve visibility, and upgrade pedestrian infrastructure to comply with ADA standards.

Most work will take place on weekdays and during the daytime. In the event of road or lane closures, residents will have access to their properties at all times, while other drivers will be directed to a short detour.

A project microsite, located at ECRAlternatives.com, houses an archive of environmental and public outreach materials presented during the planning phases of this project. Click here to see visualizations of the future El Camino Real.

Pothole repair to occur in both directions of SR-82 and storm drainage work will occur in the southbound direction between Millbrae Ave and East Santa Inez Ave in San Mateo County. Tree removal work will occur in the northbound direction within Burlingame.
