Before the coronavirus pandemic shutdown, U.S. Highway 101 used to clog up during rush hour.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will be closing the northbound and southbound lanes of U.S. 101 to facilitate the replacement of the aging Cordilleras Creek Bridge, as a result of it reaching the end of its service life.

The first closure, scheduled for the southbound lanes of Highway 101, will take place from Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, from 10 p.m. on the Friday until the following Monday at 5 a.m.

The northbound highway closure is slated to occur between Oct. 13-16, following the same schedule as the northbound lane.

Amidst the duration of the closures, the Redwood City Police Department says that it will be deploying its Motor Unit to patrol affected areas, assisting with any traffic-related issues and helping to maintain smooth traffic flow.

To ensure safe travels during this time, the police department asks that Redwood City residents exude caution, adhere to traffic laws and be aware of increased traffic enforcement during the two weekends.

Residents looking for more information about the project, including detour routes and updates, can visit the Caltrans website.
