Palo Alto residents and commuters, brace yourselves for upcoming changes on Southbound State Route 82 (SR-82). The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has officially initiated the SR-82 El Camino Real Pavement Rehabilitation and Improvement project, a comprehensive effort aimed at enhancing the roadway infrastructure.
The project, which began on February 12, 2024, involves extensive concrete removal and replacement activities at driveways, sidewalks, and ADA ramps along SR-82.
To facilitate these improvements, Caltrans has implemented daytime shoulder lane closures on Southbound SR-82 between Palm Drive and California Avenue in Palo Alto. The closures are scheduled from Monday through Friday, starting at 7 AM and concluding at 5 PM. This closure schedule will remain in effect until the completion of the project.
The ongoing project aims to address crucial aspects of the roadway, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the infrastructure for years to come. While these enhancements are underway, Caltrans emphasizes the importance of adhering to the designated closure hours to minimize disruptions to both commuters and residents.
