SR-82 – Pavement Rehabilitation and ADA Improvements

Description

Caltrans is scheduled to begin Pavement and ADA improvements on State Route 82 El Camino Real, between south of State Route-237, Mountain View to Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park/Palo Alto. This pavement rehabilitation project also proposes to upgrade the existing non-standard ADA curb ramps with new ADA curb ramps in compliance with the American Disability Act (ADA) and Complete Street elements. All work is weather and conditions dependent.

Beginning the week of September 9, vehicles will not be permitted to park on SR-82 along the project location. “No Parking” signs will be posted.
The public will have limited and/or restricted access to sidewalks, curb ramps and several driveways while this work is taking place.
