Lane Closures on El Camino Real in San Mateo

The California Department of Transportation has scheduled lane closures this week in San Mateo as part of the El Camino Real Smart Corridor project.

The closures, which will take place between Monday and Friday, will allow Caltrans crews to install an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) system that provides traffic management tools to manage traffic on local streets and El Camino Real.

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. Construction is expected to be completed in October 2013.
